Suppose that you are holding a pencil balanced on its point. If you release the pencil and it begins to fall, what will be the angular acceleration when it has an angle of 10.0 degrees from the vertical?

What is the distance rn between the point of application of  n? and the axis of rotation? What is the distance rw between the point of application of w?  and the axis?



 There are two reasonable approximations to consider for the pencil in this problem: a cylinder and a thin rod. However, in this problem we will treat the pencil as a uniform thin rod of length 15.0 cm and mass 10.0 g.

 The pencil rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Which of the labeled points is the point that the axis of rotation passes through?

Answer #1

rw is zero as axis of pencil is passing the same point of application of w.
