Jan 19, 2019 at 0:08 comment added JEB since no frames are accelerating, how does rigidity come into play? Can you make a parametric equation for the rod's endpoint $x'(t')$ and $y'(t')$ and transform them to $x(t)$ and $y(t)$?
Jan 18, 2019 at 23:30 comment added user196418 Ii think part of the problem is the assumption of rigidity in the first place. True rigidity requires inter atomic forces to send signals (or propagate) instantaneously and that cannot happen.
