Uniform rod AB of length l and weight W lies in a vertical plane and is acted

Question:

Uniform rod AB of length l and weight W lies in a vertical plane and is acted upon by a couple M. The ends of the rod are connected to small rollers which rest against frictionless surfaces.

(a) Express the angle θ corresponding to equilibrium in terms of M, W, and l.

(b) Determine the value of θ corresponding to equilibrium when M = 1.5 lb ⋅ ft, W = 4 lb, and l = 2 ft.
