    A thin uniform rod AB of mass 'mm' and length 'll' is hinged at one end A to the ground level. Initially the rod stands vertically and is allowed to fall freely to the ground in the vertical plane. The angular velocity of the rod when its end B strikes the ground is (g=g= acceleration due to gravity)
