A wagon of can move without friction along horizontal rails. A simple pendulum consisting of a sphere of mass is suspended from the ceiling of the wagon by a string of length . At the initial moment the wagon and the pendulum are at rest and the string is deflected through an angle from the vertical. Find the velocity of the wagon when the pendulum passes through the mean position.

A uniform rod has a weight of and a length of . It is hinged to a wall (at the left end), and held in a horizontal position by a vertical massless string (at the right end). What is the magnitude of the torque exerted by the string about a horizontal axis which passes through the hinge and is perpendicular to the rod?

A uniform rod has a weight of and a length of . It is hinged to a wall (at the left end), and held in a horizontal position by a vertical massless string (at the right end). What is the tension in the string?
