Question:

A solid metal rod 1.5 m long is free to rotate without friction about a fixed, horizontal axis perpendicular to the rod and passing through one end. The other end is held in a horizontal position. Small coins of mass m are placed on the rod 25 cm, 50 cm, 75 cm, 1 m, 1.25 m, and 1.5 m from the bearing. If the free end is now released, calculate the initial force exerted on each coin by the rod. Assume that the mass of the coins may be neglected in comparison to the mass of the rod.
