A thin and uniform rod of mass M and length L is held vertical on a floor with large friction. The rod is released from rest so that it falls by rotating about its contact-point with the floor without slipping. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct, when the rod makes an angle 60° with vertical ? [g is the acceleration due to gravity]
(A) The angular acceleration of the rod will be 2g/L
(B) The radial acceleration of the rod’s center of mass will be 3g/4
(C) The angular speed of the rod will be √3g/2L
(D) The normal reaction force from the floor on the rod will be Mg/16
