Bar AB of Fig. with weight W and length L has a uniform cross section. Rotation of the bar is resisted by a torsional spring with spring constant 4. The spring is neutral when 0- 0°. Determine The minimum stiffness & for the spring, in terms of W and L, if the bar is to be in stable equilibrium when 0 = 0°.
