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 = 51.7° with respect to the
horizontal, as shown in the figure.
L
If the mass of each bug is 3.09 times the mass of the stick and
the stick is 17.5 cm long, what is the magnitude a of the
angular acceleration of the stick at the instant shown? Use
g = 9.81 m/s².
rad/s?
