Dynamics of a solid body

Problem 1.272

A smooth uniform rod ABA B of mass MM and length ll rotates freely with an angular velocity ω0\omega_{0} in a horizontal plane about a stationary vertical axis passing through its end AA. A small sleeve of mass mm starts sliding along the rod from the point AA. Find the velocity vv^{\prime} of the sleeve relative to the rod at the moment it reaches its other end BB.

Reveal Answer
v=ω0l/1+3m/Mv^{\prime}=\omega_{0} l / \sqrt{1+3 m / M}
