The two springs have a stiffness k = 1.2 kN/m, and have the same length and are without deform when 8 = 0°. If the mechanism starts from rest when 0 = 01. The mass of each sphere is m. Treat the spheres as particles and neglect the masses of the rods. and springs. Determine when 0 = 02: a) The angular velocity of the mechanism b) If the rod OB supports a normal force of N = 15 N, check if the rod fails (Explain why the rod fails or does not fail) Variables: m, 0₁,0₂ A m 0₁ 0₂ e [kg] [] [°] 2,5 25 7 C 0,25 m
