Question:
A thin, uniform rod of length L and mass M is placed vertically on a horizontal table. If tilted ever so slightly, the rod will fall over.
a. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if there’s so much friction that the bottom tip of the rod does not slide?
b. What is the speed of the center of mass just as the rod hits the table if the table is frictionless?

I am graduated in Physics in 2018, from KIRORIMAL COLLEGE, University of Delhi. Now I am persuing Master's degree in physics. I like to do physics problems. I have experience of 1 year in tutoring. I think Physics is the only subject where you understand things,how they are happening . In physics you learn Maths and apply it. So I would like to join your platform to solve many Physics problems.
