A uniform rod hinged at its one end is allowed to rotate in vertical plane. Rod is given an angular velocity ω in its vertical position as shown in figure. The value of ω for which the force exerted by the hinge on rod is zero in this position is :

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
For the circular motion of com :

mg = m
ω 2 ⇒ ω = 
Note : Since the reaction at the end is zero, the gravitational force will have to provide the required centripetal force.
