Consider the rod view of a uniform rod shown, which has a total length L and mass M. There are two forces applied to the rod on each end, as indicated in the diagram. The rod is pivoted (L/3) from the left end. Take +z to be out of the page.
Write an equation for the angular acceleration of this rod in the kˆ direction in terms of M, L, F1, F2, θ1, and θ2.
