Problem

A heavy uniform rod of mass M=6 kgM = 6\,\text{kg} and length L=1 mL = 1\,\text{m} is hinged at one end to a horizontal ceiling and is free to rotate in a vertical plane. It is released from rest from a horizontal position. Using the principle of conservation of energy and the concept of Moment of Inertia, find the angular velocity of the rod when it reaches the vertical position. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2})
