Important Questions on Rotational Mechanics
A uniform rod of mass and length is suspended with two massless strings as shown in the figure. If the rod is at rest in a horizontal position the ratio of tension in the two strings is

Two persons of equal height are carrying a long uniform wooden beam of length . They are at distance and from the nearest ends of the rod. The ratio of normal reactions at their heads is

A shaped object with dimensions shown in the figure is lying on a smooth floor. A force is applied at the point parallel to , such that the object has only translational motion without rotation. Find the location of with respect to


The uniform rod of mass and length of is pivoted at its end and swings freely in the vertical plane. Angular acceleration of rod just after the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position.

A uniform rod hinged at its one end is allowed to rotate in the vertical plane. Rod is given an angular velocity in its vertical position as shown in the figure. The value of for which the force exerted by the hinge on the rod is zero in this position is

A uniform rod of length and mass is free to rotate in a vertical plane about . The rod initially in a horizontal position is released. The initial angular acceleration of the rod is (Moment of inertia of the rod about is )
