2) Two 
masses are fixed to either end of a rigid meter stick which is balanced, horizontally, on a fulcrum at its middle.

(A) What is the initial angular acceleration if the stick is massless and the Left Mass is 3 times the Right Mass. (ML = 3MR)?

(B) What is the initial angular acceleration if the Left & Right masses are the same but the stick’s mass is a tenth of the Right mass (MS = 0.1MR)?

(C) Taking the answer from part B, express the angular acceleration as a function of the angle from horizontal, 0 (supposed to be theta)

A stick is resting on a concrete step with 15 of its total length ? hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the end of the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. A moment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end of the stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at ?=46.5∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure. If the mass of each...
