A large pendulum with a 200-lb gold plated bob 12 inches in
diameter is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building.
The pendulum has a length of 75 ft. It is used to show the

rotation of the Earth-for this reason it is referred to as a Foucault
pendulum.

For this instant, calculate the friction force from the rod onto the collar and the elastic force on the collar. Indicate whether or not the elastic force points towards the origin O and then calculate the spring stretch.
