  • In this video, an elegant rotational mechanics problem is covered. This problem utilizes several concepts including conservation of momentum, conservation of angular momentum, and lastly conservation of energy. Lastly, a bit of geometry involving the centroid, medians, and center of mass is used. The problem is extremely fun to solve.
    This problem is from EuPhO 2018/1, the European Physics Olympiad 2018. This is similar to many problems found in olympiads like the united states physics olympiad, though quite a bit more difficult than the F=ma competition/exam. It is still relevant because it is an excellent problem
    If you compete in math competitions like the AMCs or AIME, this problem might be well suited to you because it uses geometry!

    I don't quite understand how is the angle q constant if the question says it changes effortlessly???

    How can rods be massless? Question is invalid! EuPho Problem 1 was a scam

      its an assumption to make calculations simpler.. its the reason why strings and springs are assumed massless
