APFIVE Equilibrium of a Swinging Rod
A uniform rod of length L and mass M is pivoted at one end and held horizontally. When released, what is the relationship between its rotational and translational equilibrium states during the subsequent motion?
A
Never in rotational equilibrium, never in translational equilibrium
B
In both rotational and translational equilibrium at the lowest position
C
Rotational equilibrium only at vertical, never translational equilibrium
D
Constantly in translational equilibrium throughout the motion
