A vertical load P is applied at end B of rod BC. The constant of the spring

Question:

A vertical load P is applied at end B of rod BC. The constant of the spring is k, and the spring is unstretched when θ = 90o.
(a) Neglecting the weight of the rod, express the angle θ corresponding to equilibrium in terms of P, k, and l.
(b) Determine the value of θ corresponding to equilibrium when P = 1/4 kl.
