Scenario: A $0\mathrm{.}32$ kg meter stick hangs by a hole drilled at the $0\mathrm{.}34$ meter mark $($the center of the stick is at the $0\mathrm{.}50$ meter mark, of course$).$ The stick is swung up to an angle of $54$ degrees from vertical.

For all parts, be sure to double$-$check your distances!

$($a$)$ What is the torque on the meter stick due to gravity? N m

$($b$)$ What is the moment of inertial of the stick about the pivot? $($parallel axis theorem$)$ kg m$2$

$($c$)$ What is the angular acceleration of the stick? rad$/$s$2$

$($d$)$ What is the linear acceleration of the end of the stick? m$/$s$2$
