1.	A uniform stick of length L is pivoted at one end on a horizontal table. The stick is held forming an angle theta_(0) with the table. A small block of mass m is placed at the other end of the stick and it remains at rest. The system is released from rest (a) Prove that the stick will hit the table before the block if cos theta_(0) ge sqrt((2)/(3)) (b)Find the contact force between the block and the stick immediately before the system is released.Take theta_(0) = cos^(-1) (sqrt((2)/(3))) (c) Find the contact force between the block and the stick immediately after the system is released if theta_(0) cos ^(-1) (sqrt((2)/(3))).
