Transcribed Image Text:### Equilibrium of a Uniform Rod with Spring System
#### Problem Statement:
A 10.5-kg uniform rod is attached to a pivot at end \( A \). It is subjected to a couple moment of \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \). The spring connected to the rod is unstretched when the angle \( \theta = 0 \), and it has a stiffness constant \( k = 60 \, \text{N/m} \).
**Determine the smallest angle \( \theta \) for equilibrium.**
Express your answer in degrees to three significant figures.
#### Parameters:
- Mass of the rod: \( 10.5 \, \text{kg} \)
- Couple moment: \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \)
- Spring stiffness: \( 60 \, \text{N/m} \)
- Spring is unstretched at \( \theta = 0 \)
#### Figure Description:
The accompanying figure shows the rod pinned at point \( A \) with a spring attached at point \( B \). In the diagram:
- The length from \( A \) to the point where the spring is attached is \( 2 \, \text{m} \).
- The spring has a stiffness constant \( k = 60 \, \text{N/m} \) and is not stretched when \( \theta = 0 \).
- The rod forms an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical.
- A couple moment of \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) is applied to the rod.
#### Graph/Diagram Explained:
The figure shows:
1. A vertical rod \( AB \) with a pivot at point \( A \).
2. A spring attached at \( B \), which lies horizontally in the unstretched position when \( \theta = 0 \).
3. The length \( AB \) is \( 2 \) meters.
4. A measurement indicating that the spring is \( 0.5 \) meters above the pivot when \( \theta = 0 \).
5. A couple moment of \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) applied at the base of the rod.
