Prob number one
I guess we pretty much establish that its force times distance. Distance is .92m

If you apply pressure here its kinda tricky to solve, there is an easy way to solve it. key is energy used is energy regardless if what form u use. Lets say you move rotate the tip of that bar 1 inch. How does that compare say instead of rotating it you push it down the center x amount of distance? Will, if you push it down the center without rotating, then the total area your bar cover is X distance times .92 meters right? But if you push the tip and let bar rotate, then the area you moved is the cross section that the entire bar displace. SO knowing that, here's way to figure it out.
3.0revs/.19 seconds = 1 rev / .0633333 sec,
So basically, you've covered the area of the circle in .063333333 seconds, thus you displaced the bar an area of Pi * R^2 meter (2.659 m^2) in .06333 seconds. Now suppose you don't rotate and instead push the center of the bar in a straight line in .063333 seconds with the same force. Since you expand the same amont of energy, you should in theory displace the bar the same amount of area right? Lets call X the distance you push the bar from the center. X times the length of the bar would be the total area you displace in .063333 seconds and should be = 2.659m^2. so X in meters = (2.659m^2./.92m)
This yield x = 2.89 meters. So pushing the Rod around in a circle once in .19 seconds is equal to pushing it down the center in a straight line of 2.89 meters in .19 seconds. But it's much easier to calculate things in a straight line. Our force is then merely the mass times acceleration..
Mass = 2.5Kg
Acceleration = 2.89m/.19 s^2 = 15.2m/s ^2
Ok, now you have mass, you have acceleration, and you have distance
so .92m * 2.5Kg * 15.2m/ss = 34.96 I hope i'm right
Mine is a total cheap way of solving it. Instead of treating it as a rotating rod, convert it into something u push in a straight line right down the center.
