33Torque about COM is Nl/2 ?? :(
a rod is aligned at a corner as in figure. no friction is there anywhere. it start to slide. prove that it would leave the vertical wall when it's tip is at a height 1/3rd of initial.
edit:: the actual question asked 1/3rd height fallen or "leave the vertical wall when it's tip is at a height 2/3rd of initial". my question was wrong previously...

62Good work priyam.. even i was wondering what ws the mistake..
even on two three looks i felt it was ok...
and recently have been working very on the wiki thing... so couldnt spend too much time either..
1i didnt meant length of rod i meant distance of COM from point of application of normal reaction!
62Rohan i think pryam was not pointing to the mistake in your soln..
actually even i took ur explanation to mean that :)
I think celestine wanted to figure out the fault in the solution he wrote down :)
