### Understanding the Conservation of Energy in a System with Conservative Forces

#### Problem Statement:
When only conservative forces act on a system, the conservation of energy theorem can be utilized to solve problems effectively. For particle kinetics, the principle is expressed as:

\[ T_1 + V_1 = T_2 + V_2 \]

where \( T \) represents kinetic energy and \( V \) signifies potential energy, comprising gravitational potential energy (\( V_g \)) and elastic potential energy (\( V_e \)).

#### Given Data:
- The potential energy contributions are \( V_g = Wy_c \) (gravitational potential energy) and \( V_e = \frac{1}{2} k s^2 \) (elastic potential energy).
- A rod with a mass of 30 kg is released from rest at an angle \(\theta = 45^\circ\).
- The spring is unstretched when \(\theta = 45^\circ\).
- The goal is to determine the angular velocity of the rod when \(\theta = 0^\circ\) using the conservation of energy theorem.

#### System Description:
- The rod \( AB \) is 1.5 meters in length.
- The spring constant \( k \) is \( 300 \, \text{N/m} \).
- The initial conditions (position and rest state) are specified for \(\theta = 45^\circ\).

### Diagram Explanation:
The accompanying diagram shows:
- A rod \( AB \) attached to a fixed point at \( B \).
- An unstretched spring connected to the rod at point \( A \) when \(\theta = 45^\circ\).
- The rod is positioned at an angle \(\theta\) from the horizontal, initially set to \( 45^\circ\).
- The length of the rod is marked as 1.5 meters, illustrating its pivot and the extension mechanism of the spring as the angle changes.

### Objective:
By leveraging the conservation of energy theorem, one can find the angular velocity of the rod when \(\theta\) is \(0^\circ\). 

This process involves:
1. Calculating the initial potential energy due to both gravity and spring elasticity when \(\theta = 45^\circ\).
2. Determining the final potential energy at \(\theta = 0^\circ\).
3. Using the difference in potential energies to uphold the conservation of energy principle and
