A horizontal rod of mass 2 kg and length 1.5 m is free to rotate about a vertical, frictionless axle through its midpoint. Two forces are applied as shown in the figure below which is a view looking down on the rod from above. The 2 N force acts half way out from the point of rotation. The 3 N force acts at the end of the rod. What is the angular acceleration of the rod?A. 0.67 rad/sec^2B. 4 rad/sec^2C. 10 rad/sec^2D. 8 rad/sec^2E. None of these is within 3% of the correct answer.
