A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B that move freely
Question:
A slender rod AB, of weight W, is attached to blocks A and B that move freely in the guides shown. The constant of the spring is k, and the spring is unstretched when θ = 0. (a) Neglecting the weight of the blocks, derive an equation in W, k, l, and θ that must be satisfied when the rod is in equilibrium. (b) Determine the value of θ when W = 75 lb, l = 30 in., and k = 3 lb/in.
