Then you apply a force. Depending on where that force is applied, the rod will start to move in the direction of the force and will also start to spin.<br><br>If the force is applied in the dead centre, intuition tells me it won't spin at all all; the entire force will be used to accelerate the rod linearly. My guess is that if the force was applied (perpendicular) to the very tip of the rod, all (F*SH) Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:37:37 +0200 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.5/ http://www.dutchforce.com/~eforum/index.php?showtopic=33923&view=getlastpost http://www.dutchforce.com/~eforum/index.php?showtopic=33923&view=getlastpost Having a problem in my car..
