### Problem Description

**Text:**
The 9-kg uniform rod is pinned at point \( A \). It is also subjected to a couple moment of \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \). The spring is unstretched when \(\theta = 0\), and has a stiffness of \( k = 60 \, \text{N}/\text{m} \). (Figure 1)

**Task:**
Determine the smallest angle \(\theta\) for equilibrium. 

Express your answer in degrees to three significant figures.

### Figure Description

In Figure 1, we have a system consisting of the following elements:

- **Rod \( AB \)**:
  - A 9-kg uniform rod is pinned at point \( A \).
  - Point \( B \) is located at the top end of the rod.
  - The length from point \( A \) to point \( B \) is 2 meters.

- **Pin at Point \( A \)**:
  - The rod is hinged at point \( A \), allowing rotation around this point.

- **Couple Moment**:
  - There is a constant couple moment of \( 50 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \) applied at point \( A \).

- **Spring**:
  - A spring with a stiffness constant \( k = 60 \, \text{N}/\text{m} \).
  - The spring is attached horizontally from a fixed support to point \( B \).
  - When the angle \( \theta = 0 \), the spring is unstretched.
  
- **Angle \( \theta \)**:
  - \( \theta \) is the angle made by the rod \( AB \) with the vertical.
  - The rod makes this angle \( \theta \) with the vertical as shown.

**Diagram Details**:

- The vertical distance from the hinge point \( A \) to the line where the spring is connected is given as \( 0.5 \, \text{m} \).
- The rod makes an angle \( \theta \) with the vertical axis.
- The spring is horizontally attached to the top end \( B \) of the rod.

### Instructions

To solve the problem, you need to determine the smallest angle \(\theta\) that allows for equilibrium. Ensure your answer is given in
