2) A uniform rod of length 3 m is free to rotate on a frictionless pin passing through one end as shown. If the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position, (a) What conservation principle can you use to solve this problem? L/2 x CM (b) What is the change in potential energy of the rod when the free end of the rod reaches its lowest point? (c) What is the moment of inertia of the rod about its pivot? (d) What is the kinetic energy and angular speed of the rod when its free end is at its lowest point?
