A thin uniform rod (length L =1.2 m, mass M =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 60 with the horizontal. What is the angular acceleration of the rod at the instant it is released?
