Problem
Rod A consists of a small mass m attached to the end of a light, rigid rod of length L that can rotate about the other end. Rod B is a uniform rod of the same mass m and length L that rotates about one end. The same external torque of magnitude τ0 is applied to each rod about its pivot. Determine which rod acquires the larger angular acceleration and by what factor, and justify your answer in one or two sentences.
