Question: Consider the system shown below that has a Cartesian ( O x y ) coordinate system fixed at ( O )

Consider the system shown below that has a Cartesian \( O x y \) coordinate system fixed at \( O \) where the \( x \)-axis is horizontal and the \( y \)-axis is vertical. The rotational displacement \(\theta(t)\) of the bar is positive in an anti-clockwise direction.
For the above system determine the following information clearly showing all steps and appropriate reasoning:
2.1 Determine the differential equation of motion of the bar as it oscillates about its pivot if the mass of the bar is 7.3 kg ;
2.2 Solve the differential equation of motion of the bar as it oscillates about its pivot;
2.3 Plot a graph of the solution of the differential equation inclusive of the rotational displacement and the rotational velocity of the motion of the bar as it oscillates about its pivot for a time corresponding to the natural angular frequency;
Consider the system shown below that has a
