Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A uniform rod AB of mass 2 kg and length 1 m is placed on a sharp support O, such that AO=a=25 cm and OB=b=75 cm. A spring of force constant 600 N m-1 is attached to the end B, as shown. Initially, the spring is extended by 2 cm at equilibrium. As soon as the thread is burnt, find the normal force (in N) exerted by the support at O.

The correct answer is: 8
I about O is mL212+mL216=7mL248

Spring force   KΔx=600×2100=12  N

Torque, just after burning the string,

τ=2×10×14+12×34

 τ= 5 + 9 = 14 N m

α=14×487×2×1=48 rad s-2

Acceleration of COM,

a=48×14=12 m s-2

Now, total vertical force

12 + 20  N = 2 × 12

N = 32  24 = 8 N
