Question: As the light rod rotates about point 0 , it carries a mass point of 2 kg and a mass of 4 kg , respectively.

As the light rod rotates about point 0, it carries a mass point of 2 kg and a mass of 4 kg, respectively. When the rod starts to move from rest at a position of 0=60\deg and rotates on a vertical plane, find (a) the velocity v immediately before the spring is struck at the position where the mass of 2 kg is dotted. (b) Find the maximum compression displacement x of the spring. Since the value of x is so small, when the spring is compressed, it is assumed that the position of the rod is horizontal.
