Question
A stick is resting on a concrete step with of its total length
L 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 0 = 36.1° with respect to the
horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 2.75 times the mass of the stick and
the stick is 15.1 cm long, what is the magnitude o of the
angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown? Use
g = 9.81 m/s².
α =
8.4
Incorrect
rad/s²
L
