262vel. of lower end along the length of the rod is 3.cos60 . since the rod is rigid, min. vel of upper end will be 1.5 m/s
a rod of length l is resting on a horizontal floor.at a certain instant of time,lower end has a velocity of 3m/s
what is the minimum velocity of of the upper end of the rod?

UP 0 DOWN 0 0 4

2621the velocities at both ends should be same in order to move the rod so the cosine of 3 ie 3cos60 is the velocity at upper portion (min)
1@vijay,
velocity of all the points of the rod along the length of the rod is same since it is a rigid rod and can neither contract or expand.
