A uniform rod of mass M = 2 kg and length L is suspended
by two smooth hinges 1 and 2 as shown in the figure. A force
F = 4 N is applied downward at a distance L/4 from hinge 2 .
Due to the application of force F, hinge 2 breaks. At this
instant, applied force F is also removed. The rod starts to
rotate downward about hinge 1 .
Shape Description automatically generated with medium confidence
The acceleration of the end point of the rod, when the rod becomes vertical is
  1. 30 m/s2
  2. 20 m/s2
  3. 10 m/s2
  4. 0

Answer

(A) 30 m/s 2
