The torque, for the rod rotating about the center is, =115.5Nm=115.5Nm
The torque, for the rod rotating about one end is, =461.8Nm=461.8Nm

Explanation:

The torque is the rate of change of angular momentum

tau=(dL)/dt=(d(Iomega))/dt=I(domega)/dtτ=dLdt=d(Iω)dt=Idωdt

The moment of inertia of a rod, rotating about the center is

I=1/12*mL^2I=112mL2

=1/12*9*7^2= 36.75 kgm^2=112972=36.75kgm2

The rate of change of angular velocity is

(domega)/dt=(9)/18*2pidωdt=9182π

=(pi) rads^(-2)=(π)rads2

So the torque is tau=36.75*(pi) Nm=36.75piNm=115.5Nmτ=36.75(π)Nm=36.75πNm=115.5Nm

The moment of inertia of a rod, rotating about one end is

I=1/3*mL^2I=13mL2

=1/3*9*7^2=147kgm^2=13972=147kgm2

So,

The torque is tau=147*(pi)=461.8Nmτ=147(π)=461.8Nm

"Let's apply Newton's second law for circular motion."Let's apply Newton's second law for circular motion.

F=m*a " For linear motion"F=ma For linear motion

T=I*alpha " For circular motion"T=Iα For circular motion

"Where T:Torque , I:Moment of Inertia , "alpha:"angular acceleration"Where T:Torque , I:Moment of Inertia , α:angular acceleration

I=1/12 m* l^2"I=112ml2
"moment of inertia for a rod turning about its mass center"moment of inertia for a rod turning about its mass center
m=9kg " , "l=7 mm=9kg , l=7m

I=1/12*9*7^2=36.75I=112972=36.75

alpha=(Delta omega)/(Delta t)

Delta omega=omega_2-omega_1

Delta omega=2pi(f_2-f_1)

f_2-f_1=9Hz

Delta omega=18pi

alpha=(18pi)/18

alpha=pi
