Question: ( b ) The mass m = 1 kg is attached to the rigid stem pivoting at O and is attached to two springs k

(b) The mass m=1 kg is attached to the rigid stem pivoting at O and is attached to two
springs k and 3k (with k=20 N/m), as shown in figure QB1b. The distances a and
b are a=0.5m and b=1m. Using the moment equation and the small angle
approximation, find wn the natural angular frequency of this system. What would
be the minimum value of k to have a vibration (i.e. harmonic motion)?
