    A rod of length L and mass m is kept vertically on the ground. Its potential energy is

    A)  \[mgL\]

    B)  \[mg\frac{L}{2}\]

    C)  \[mg\frac{L}{3}\]

    D)  \[mg\frac{L}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The potential energy of the rod will be according to the position of the centre of mass of the rod, which is \[\frac{L}{2}\] unit above the ground. So, potential energy of the rod \[=mg\frac{L}{2}\]
