Problem 3: Falling Stick You have probablyr heard the phrase "the bigger they are, the harder they fall". Is this true? Two thin sticks are balanced on their ends on a rough floor. One stick is twice as long as the other. Then, simultaneously, the},r are given slight pushes at their tops so they topple over, rotating about. their ends that are in contact. with the floor. Which stick, the shorter or longer one, lands flat. on the floor first? Hint: determine their angular speeds just before they land flat on the floor. Think about energy conservation. The moment of inertia. of a thin stick about a rotational axis that is perpendicular to its end is it'll/HZ
