(chatquestion)...A homogeneous rod AB of length L = 1.8 m and mass M is pivoted at the centre O in such a way that it can rotate freely in the vertical plane (see fig). The rod is initially in the horizontal position. An insect S of the same mass M falls vertically with speed V on the point C, midway between the points O and B. Immediately after falling, the insect moves towards the end B such that the rod 25. L/2 OU4 U4 (1992) rotates with a constant angular velocity o (a) Determine the angular velocity o in terms of V and L. (b) If the insect reaches the end B when the rod has turned through an angle of 90°, determine V.
