A stick is resting on a concrete step with 1/6 of its totallength ? 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 atθ=62.1∘ with respect to the horizontal, as shown in the figure.
If the mass of each bug is 3.43 times the mass of the stick andthe stick is 12.7 cm long, what is the magnitude of the angularacceleration ? of the stick at the instant shown?
