a uniform rod of mass 2kg and length 1m is lying on a horizontal surface. if the work done in raising one end of the rod through an angle 450 is 'W', the work done in raising it further through 450 is?

When the the rod is raised through an angle 45 degrees, the CoM of the rod moves up by =0.5×sin450=0.52=122 m
Work done, W=2×10×122=52 J
The CoM will raise again by 12-122 m
Work done in this case, 
W1=2×10×12-122=10×1-12=2-152 JW1=2-1W
