A nonuniform 2.0-kg rod is 2.0 m long. The rod is mounted to rotate freely about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the rod that passes through one end of the rod. The rotational inertia of the rod about this axis is 4.0 kg/m2 . The center of mass of the rod is 1.2 m from the axis. If the rod is released from rest in the horizontal position, what is its angular speed as it swings through the

vertical position?
a. 3.4 rad/s
b. 4.4 rad/s
c. 4.3 rad/s
d. 5.8 rad/s
e. 6.8 rad/s
