A certain type of propeller blade can be modeled as a thin uniform bar 2.80m long and of mass 24.0kg that is free to rotate about a frictionless axle perpendicular to the bar at its midpoint.
A) If a technician strikes this blade with a mallet 1.15m from the center with a 40.0N force perpendicular to the blade, find the maximum angular acceleration the blade could achieve.
