Slender bar A is rigidly connected to a massless rod BC in Case 1 and two massless cords in Case 2 as shown. The vertical thickness of bar A is negligible compared to L. In both cases A is released from rest at an angle 8 = 60. When 8=0° which system will have the larger kinetic energy? (a) Case 1 (b) Case 2 (c) The kinetic energy will be the same. Case 1 B Case 2 A
