A uniform slender rod is placed at corner B and is given a slight clockwise motion. Assuming that the corner is sharp and becomes slightly embedded in the end of the rod so that the coefficient of static friction at B is very large, determine (a) the angle β through which the rod will have rotated when it loses contact with the corner, (b) the corresponding velocity of end A.
