Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
The 5.5-kg uniform rod is pinned at end A. It is also subjected to a couple moment of 50 N⋅m. The spring is unstretched when θ = 0, and has a stiffness of k = 60 N/m.
#### Given Data:
- Mass of the rod (uniform): 5.5 kg
- Moment couple: 50 N⋅m
- Spring stiffness, k: 60 N/m
- Unstretched condition of the spring at θ = 0
### Objective:
Determine the smallest angle θ for equilibrium.
- Express your answer in degrees to three significant figures.
### Input Box:
Enter your answer for angle θ in degrees in the given input box.
```
θ = ______________ ∘
```
### Figure Explanation:
The figure represents a mechanical setup consisting of:
1. A uniform rod (5.5 kg) pinned at end A.
2. A spring with stiffness k = 60 N/m positioned near the rod.
3. The rod subjected to a couple moment of 50 N⋅m.
4. The spring is connected to the rod at point B.
5. The dimensions are:
- Length from A to B: 2 m
- Spring attachment length from pin A: 0.5 m.
The rod is shown with its initial position forming an angle θ with the vertical. The spring is also depicted attached to point B on the rod.
