The purpose of the moderator in a reactor is to
A. separate the nuclear fuel from the spent products of fission. B. provide cooling for the control rods. C. reduce the number of neutrons available for the chain reaction. D. slow neutrons down so that they will be more likely to initiate fission reactions.
The figure shows a uniform rod (length L = 1.0 m, mass = 2.0 kg) suspended from a pivot a distance d = 0.25 m above its center of mass. The angular frequency (in rad/s) for small oscillations is approximately
