a uniform rod is 1 m long and has a mass of 10 kg. it is pinned at point a, a frictionless pivot. the rod is released from a rest position 45degrees from the horizontal. the top of an undeflected ideal spring is located at point b to contact the tip of the rod when the rod is horizontal the spring has a constant of 98 kN/m. (c) assume the rod is dropped from the unknown angle, and is 10 rad/s when the rod hit the spring. What will be the maximum deflection of the spring. SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION.
