Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

In this process potential energy of the metre stick will be converted into rotational kinetic energy

P.E. of meter stick

Because its centre of gravity lies at the middle point of the rod

Rotational kinetic energy

 M.I. of metre stick about point

 Angular speed of the rod while striking the ground

 Velocity of end  of metre stick while striking the ground

By the law of conservation of energy,

By solving we get,
