Dynamics of a solid body

Problem 1.272

A smooth uniform rod \(A B\) of mass \(M\) and length \(l\) rotates freely with an angular velocity \(\omega_{0}\) in a horizontal plane about a stationary vertical axis passing through its end \(A\). A small sleeve of mass \(m\) starts sliding along the rod from the point \(A\). Find the velocity \(v^{\prime}\) of the sleeve relative to the rod at the moment it reaches its other end \(B\).

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