A squirrel of mass m climbs slowly on a thin straight vertical rod of length L Mass of the rod is negligible as compared to that of the squirrel and size of the squirrel is negligible as compared to the length I that it climbs on the rod Due to weight of the squirrel the rod bends at its lower end through an angle and due to elasticity of the material of the rod a restoring torque CO is developed If C 2mgl find the maximum length the squirrel can climb on the rod a L 2 c L b 3L 4 d 2L
