    A rod of length L, whose lower end is sliding along the horizontal plane, starts to topple from the vertical position. The velocity of the upper end when it hits the ground is

    A) \[\sqrt{gL}\]                                      

    B) \[\sqrt{3gL}\]

    C) \[\sqrt{5gL}\]                                    

    D) \[3\sqrt{gL}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Using energy conservation \[\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}=mg\frac{L}{2}\] \[\frac{1}{2}\times m\frac{{{L}^{2}}}{3}{{\omega }^{2}}=mg\frac{L}{2}\] \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{3g}{L};\] \[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{3g}{L}}\] Therefore, \[v=L\omega =L\sqrt{\frac{3g}{L}}=\sqrt{3gL}\]
