A uniform square plate of mass m is supported with its plane vertical as shown in the figure. Assume the centre of mass is on a horizontal line passing through A. If the cable at B breaks then just after that the angular acceleration of the plate is
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
The plate will rotate about the hinged point (point A ) after breaking of the cable
using 
for the plate
( Moment of inertia about point A is 
)
