Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Slender rod
Length of rod
Mass of slender rod
Sphere Bob at one end
Mass
Sphere Bod at the other end
Mass
Linear speed of mass 2 at the lowest point
We need to calculate the change in potential of the complete system. m2 and m3 are the masses at the rod ends. note the rod centre of mass neither gains nor loses potential.
So, at the lowest point,
Note, at the lowest point, the mass 1 is 40cm (0.4m) form the midpoint, Also, the mass 2 is
Now, the moment of inertia of the rod is given as
calculating of inertia of the end masses.
Now, the Energy of the masses due to angular velocity is given as
Using conservation of energy
The potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy of the system
Then,

Step 1
The PE of an object is the amount of energy the object will store because it is at a certain height.
The PE is given as
U=mgh
where m= mass of the object, g= acceleration due to gravity, and h= height.
Step 2
The PE of the system is given by
Again, PE of the system is given by
The linear velocity is given by
Step 3
Hence, the required velocity is 1.462m/s
