A stick is resting on a concrete step with 2727 of its totallength ?L hanging over the edge. A single ladybug lands on the endof the stick hanging over the edge, and the stick begins to tip. Amoment later, a second, identical ladybug lands on the other end ofthe stick, which results in the stick coming momentarily to rest at?=41.3∘θ=41.3∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in thefigure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.093.09 times the mass of the stickand the stick is 16.3 cm16.3 cm long, what is the magnitude of theangular acceleration ?α of the stick at the instant shown?
