(C) The center of mass $X_{cm}$ is given by:$X_{cm} = \frac{\int x dm}{\int dm} = \frac{\int_{0}^{L} x (\lambda_0 x) dx}{\int_{0}^{L} (\lambda_0 x) dx} = \frac{\lambda_0 [x^3/3]_0^L}{\lambda_0 [x^2/2]_0^L} = \frac{L^3/3}{L^2/2} = \frac{2L}{3}$.The total mass $M$ of the rod is:$M = \int_{0}^{L} \lambda_0 x dx = \frac{\lambda_0 L^2}{2}$.The moment of inertia $I$ about the hinge $O$ is:$I = \int x^2 dm = \int_{0}^{L} x^2 (\lambda_0 x) dx = \lambda_0 \int_{0}^{L} x^3 dx = \frac{\lambda_0 L^4}{4}$.Just after the string is cut,the torque $	au$ about the hinge $O$ is due to gravity acting at the center of mass:$	au = Mg 	imes X_{cm} = \left( \frac{\lambda_0 L^2}{2} ight) g \left( \frac{2L}{3} ight) = \frac{\lambda_0 g L^3}{3}$.Using the relation $	au = I \alpha$:$\frac{\lambda_0 g L^3}{3} = \left( \frac{\lambda_0 L^4}{4} ight) \alpha$.Solving for $\alpha$:$\alpha = \frac{\lambda_0 g L^3}{3} 	imes \frac{4}{\lambda_0 L^4} = \frac{4g}{3L}$.
