$A$ rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed in a horizontal plane. One of its ends is hinged on a vertical axis. $A$ horizontal force $F = Mg/2$ is applied at a distance of $5L/6$ from the hinged end. What will be the angular acceleration of the rod?

  • A
    $\frac{4g}{5L}$
  • B
    $\frac{5g}{4L}$
  • C
    $\frac{3g}{4L}$
  • D
    $\frac{4g}{3L}$
