$A$ thin rod of length $L$ is placed vertically on a frictionless horizontal floor and released with a negligible push to allow it to fall. At any moment, the rod makes an angle $\theta$ with the vertical. If the center of mass has acceleration $= A$, and the rod an angular acceleration $= \alpha$ at initial moment, then

A uniform meter scale is supported from its $20\ cm$ mark. A body suspended from $10\ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However, the scale gets unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance the body is shifted to the $8\ cm$ mark. Therefore, the specific gravity of the material of the body is
