Q. Two identical spheres, each of mass M and negligible radius, are fastened to opposite ends of a rod of negligible mass and length 2l. this system is initially at rest with the rod horizontal, and is free to rotate about a frictionless, horizontal axis through the center of the rod and perpendicular to the plane of the page. a bug, of mas 3M, lands gently on the sphere on the left. assume that the size of the bug is small compared to the length of the rod. express your answers to all ports of the question in terms of M, l, and physical constants.
a. determine the torque about the axis immediately after the bug lands on the sphere.
b. determine the angular acceleration of the bug immediately after the but lands.
The rod-spheres-bug system swings about the axis. at the instant that the rod is vertical,as shown above, determine each of the following.
c. the angular speed of the bug
d. the angular momentum of the system
e. the magnitude and direction of the force that must be exerted on the bug by the sphere to keep the bug from being thrown off the sphere.
