When all parts of a circuit are composed of conducting materials, the circuit is said to be
a. shorted.
b. closed.
c. parallel.
d. open.

The bar of prob. 5/82 is repeated here. the ends of the 0.4-m bar remain in contact with their re- spective support surfaces. end b has a velocity of 0.5 m/s and an acceleration of 0.3 m/s2 in the di- rections shown. determine the angular accelera- tion of the bar and the acceleration of end a.
