A thin, cylindrical rod ℓ = 27.0 cm long with a mass m = 1.20 kg
has a ball of diameter d = 10.00 cm and mass M = 2.00 kg attached
to one end. The arrangement is originally vertical and stationary,
with the ball at the top as shown in the figure below. The
combination is free to pivot about the bottom end of the rod after
being given a slight nudge.
(a) After the combination rotates through 90 degrees, what is its
rotational kinetic energy?
(b) What is the angular speed of the rod and ball?
(c) What is the linear speed of the center of mass of the
ball?
(d) How does it compare with the speed had the ball fallen freely
through the same distance of 32.0 cm?
(e) vswing is ___ vfall by ____
