A uniform thin rod of mass M and length L is standing vertically along the y-axis on a smooth horizontal surface, with its lower end at the origin (0, 0). A slight disturbance at t = 0 causes the lower end to slip on the smooth surface the positive x-axis, and the rod starts falling
(a) What is the path followed by the centre of mass of the rod during its fall?
(b) Find the equation of the trajectory of a point on the rod located at a distance r from the lower end. What is the shape of the path of this point?
