The sliding block is given a horizontal acceleration to the right that is slowly increased to a steady value a. The attached pendulum of mass m and mass center G assumes a steady angular deflection θ. The torsion spring at O exerts a moment M = kTθ on the pendulum to oppose the angular deflection. Determine the torsional stiffness kthat will allow a steady deflection θ.
