The center of a long frictionless rod is pivoted at the origin and the rod is forced to rotate at a constant angular velocity Q
in a horizontal plane. Write down the equation of motion for a bead that is threaded on the rod, using the coordinates x and y of a frame that rotates with the rod (with x along the rod and y perpendicular to it). Solve for x (t). What is the role of the centrifugal force

Answer: 585 J
Explanation:
We can calculate the work done during segment A by using the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the object:
where Kf is the final kinetic energy and Ki the initial kinetic energy. The initial kinetic energy is zero (because the initial velocity is 0), while the final kinetic energy is
The mass is m=1.3 kg, while the final velocity is v=30 m/s, so the work done is:
