Question: A thin, uniform 3 . 9 0 kg bar, 9 0 . 0 cm long, has very small 2 . 5 0 kg balls glued

A thin, uniform 3.90 kg
bar, 90.0 cm
long, has very small 2.50 kg
balls glued on at either end (Figure 1). It is supported horizontally by a thin, horizontal, frictionless axle passing through its center and perpendicular to the bar. Suddenly the right-hand ball becomes detached and falls off, but the other ball remains glued to the bar.
Figure1 of 1
The figure shows a thin bar with 2 small 2.50-kilograms balls glued on both sides. An axle goes through the middle of the bar and perpendicular to it.
Part A
Find the angular acceleration of the bar just after the ball falls off.
Express your answer in radians per second squared.
