A uniform rod of mass M = 250.0 g and length L = 50.0 cm stands vertically on a horizontal table. It is released from rest to fall.

a) What forces are acting on the rod?

b) Calculate the angular speed of the rod, the vertical acceleration of the moving end of the rod, and the normal force exerted by the table on the rod as it makes an angle θ = 45.0° with respect to the vertical.

c) If the rod falls onto the table without slipping, find the linear acceleration of the end point of the rod when it hits the table and compare it with g.
