Viewer's Request: Physics: Mechanics #41: Rotational Dynamics of a Rod - Part 1

To donate:

(Part 1) We will find the rotational dynamics of a rod. In Part 1 we will find the angular velocity and centripetal acceleration of the center of mass (CM).

Thanks professor you saved me on my exam from one of your videos I was learning while answering

I wish the hs in my town should teach like this video. Thank you

Thanks alot for this ❤.
Good morning sir.

Mr. Michel, I actually obtained indeed identical results the only difference is I used rotational form of Newton's second law and then I summed the all the torques acting on the rod, which is just the force of gravity on the center of mass, I solved for angular acceleration then I used uniformly angularly accelerated motion equation to solve for the final angular velocity which turned out to be having an angle in the equation which for in this case is Delta theta which is pi over 2 radians so my equation for angular velocity has pi over 2 in the square root for the equation instead of cosine of theta. Please assist me!

Thanks for this video. It's really amazing! In a question, we had to find the acceleration of a rod hinged at topmost point making an angle theta with vertical and the answer was 3gsintheta/2. Please help me with the doubt

Very good professor . Such a great explanation
Please can you send me links( all of them ) for a full cours on electrical engineering

how do u relate a potential energy to rotational motion, can we solve it using work done by torque and equalling it with rotational kinetic energy.

[Awawaeaawawawawawawa]

Would using the conservation of momentum work in this example? If not, why?
