The angular velocity of the rod about the pivot when it passes through the horizontal position is given by

Radial acceleration of the centre of mass (as centre of mass is moving in a circle of radius 
is given by 
Torque about pivot, in the horizontal position, is 
Tangential acceleration of the centre of mass, 
Draw the FBD of the rod at an instant when it passes through the horizontal position. Use Newton’s second law of equation

So, reaction force by the pivot on the rod, 
at an angle of 
with the horizontal
