Question

The rod AB is non-uniform with a radius 
of gyration of 4.00 ft with respect to a 
horizontal axis through the center of 
mass G. It weighs 161 lb. At the moment 
shown the rod has a counterclockwise 
angular velocity of 3.00 rad/sec, and the 
spring is compressed by 2.00 ft. 
Calculate the force constant of the spring 
that will reduce the angular velocity of 
the rod to 1.50 rad/sec when it reaches 
the horizontal position. Assume the 
blocks A and B are weightless.
