To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the moment of inertia and Torque, the latter both its translational and rotational expression.

According to the information given the moment of inertia of the body would be

$I = \frac{1}{3} mL^2$

Replacing we have

$I = \frac{1}{3} (3kg)(2m)^2$

$I = 4 kg * m^2$

Now the translational torque would be the product between the force applied (Its own Weight) and the distance (Its center of mass at the middle)

$\tau = F*r$

$\tau = mg (\frac{L}{2})$

$\tau = (3)(9.8)(\frac{2}{2})$

$\tau = 29.4N\cdot m$

Now the rotational torque is defined as the product between the moment of inertia and the angular acceleration, then,

$\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}$

Replacing,

$\alpha = \frac{29.4}{4}$

$\alpha =7.35 rad / s^2$

Therefore the angular acceleration is $7.35rad/s^2$

What happens when energy in the molecules of an ice cube when it begins to melt

blagie [28]

Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). The solid ice particles absorb heat energy from the warmer air, giving the particles energy and enabling them to move away from one another. ... This is what happens when the ice cube (a solid) turns into water (a liquid)
