- At O.
- At a distance less than $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
- At a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
- At a distance larger than $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
- At a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
Explanation:
It is given that there is no force along x-axis.
COM of rod will remain and will not shift along x-axis (horizontal direction).
Force gravity is acting along y-axis (vertical direction). So, COM will shift along the y-axis by $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ distance and COM of horizontal rod is at a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from one end.
Therefore, lower end of the rod will remain at a distance $\frac{\text{l}}2{}$ from O.
