A uniform rod PQ of length I is hinged at one end p and is kept in horizontal position by a massless string tied to point Q as shown in fig. ( ). If the string is cut, the

initial angular acceleration of the rod will be

a
(g /L)
b
(2g /3L)
c
(2g /L)
d
(3g /2L)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

When the string is cut, the weight M g of the rod acts at the centre. It produces a torque in the rod about P, given byτ=Mg(L/2)  or  Iα=Mg(L/2)∴ 13ML2α=MgL2α=3g2L
