Question: A thin uniform rod ( length = 1 . 2 m , mass = 2 . 0 kg ) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless

A thin uniform rod (length =1.2 m, mass =2.0 kg) is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod. (The moment of inertia of the rod about this axis is ML2/3.) The rod is released when it makes an angle of 37 with the horizontal. What is the angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released? I =ML2/3
A.
9.8 rad/s2
B.
65 rad/s2
C.
0
D.
12 rad/s2
