A uniform thin disk (I=1/3ML^2) of length L and mass M is pivoted at one end. It is held horizontal and released. Assume the pivot is frictionless and the positive direction to be down. Hint: Sketch, include the forces, the location of the center of mass, and the direction of acceleration.
A) Find the angular acceleration of the stick immeidately after it is released.
B) Find hte Force Fo exerted on the stick by the pivot at this time.
