The uniform thin rod in the figure below has mass M 2.50 kg and length L 1.65 m and is free to rotate on a frictionless pin. At the instant the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position, find the magnitude of the rod's angular acceleration, the tangential acceleration of the rod's center of mass, and the tangential acceleration of the rod's free end. HINT L/2 XOG (a) the rod's angular acceleration (in rad/s²) rad/s M (b) the tangential acceleration of the rod's center of mass (in m/s²) m/s² (c) the tangential acceleration of the rod's free end (in m/s) m/s²
