Question: Problem 4 ( 1 0 pts ) Refer to Fig. 4 where a rod ( length ( ell ) , with negligible

Problem 4(10 pts) Refer to Fig. 4 where a rod (length \(\ell \), with negligible mass) carries a mass \( m \) at its upper end. It is supported by a linear spring (spring constant \( k \), and length \( x_{0}\)). Assume the displacements, \( x \), and rotations, \(\varphi \), are small. Assume there is gravity \( g \).
(a) Determine the acceleration of the particle with respect to the inertial frame. Express it in terms of \(\varphi \). Express it in the inertial frame \( E \).(2 pts)
(b) Determine all the forces acting on the mass. Express it in terms of \(\varphi \). Express them in the frame \( E \).(2 pts)
(c) Determine the equations of motion of the particle, where the kinematic variable is \(\varphi(t)\).(2 pts)
(d) Solve the differential equation for \(\varphi(t)\) assuming it is displaced from its vertical position (small displacement/angle) and then released with no initial velocity. (2 pts)
(e) What is the resonant frequency of the system \(\omega \)? Discuss the three potential cases. (2 pts)
