  • A
    $2g/3$
  • B

$A$ rod of length $l$ and mass $m$ lies on a fixed horizontal smooth table. $A$ cord is led through a pulley,and its horizontal part is attached to one end of the rod,while its vertical part is attached to a block of mass $m_1$. Assume the pulley and the cord are ideal. The maximum possible acceleration of the rod's centre of mass $C$ (for all possible values of masses $m$ and $m_1$) at the moment of releasing the block $m_1$ is $\frac{g}{n}$. Find the value of $n$.
