Problem 17.93

The slender

12-kg bar has a clockwise angular velocity of ω = 2 rad/s when it is in the position shownm Suppose that L = 2.9 m .

 

Part A

Determine its angular acceleration, measured clockwise.

Express your answer using three significant figures. Enter positive value if the angular acceleration is clockwise and negative value if the angular acceleration is counterclockwise.
