Answer Key : (b) -

(b)

Since the floor is smooth, therefore no horizontal force is acting on the system. Only three forces are acting on it, weight of the ball, weight  of the rod and vertically upward reaction of the floor

Since the rod is released from rest and no horizontal force is acting on it, therefore centre of mass of the system will not displace horizontally; it means it will fall vertically downward

Since masses of the rod and ball are equal, therefore centre of mass ‘ ’ is at mid-point of centre of the rod and the ball; it means at distance  from the ball or 3/4 from the lower end

If at an instant the rod makes angle  with the vertical, then point  and the system will be as shown in the figure

Co-ordinates of the point  are

Using  we have
