 A certain object (shown at right) is composed of a solid

sphere of mass 15 kg and radius 0.5 m, connected to two

A certain object (shown at right) is composed of a solid sphere of mass 15 kg and radius 0.5 m, connected to two thin rods of length 2 meters and mass 5 kg, as shown at right. The object is initially oriented in the vertical plane as shown and then released. Gravity then causes it to rotate clockwise around a frictionless axis through the center of the sphere. In the diagram, you are looking to the west. The center of mass of the object is located 0.80 m away from the axis. What is the net torque initially acting on the object? 2 What is the initial angular acceleration of the object? 4-14 rad/8\"? 3 What is the initial acceleration of the center of mass of the object? 3-31 WSAZ
