A cord is wrapped around a drum of radius a that is pinned at A. The constant

Question:

A cord is wrapped around a drum of radius a that is pinned at A. The constant of the spring is 15 lb/in., and the spring is unstretched when θ = 0. Knowing that a = 7.5 in. and neglecting the weight of the drum, determine the value of θ corresponding to equilibrium when a downward force P of magnitude 12 lb is applied to the end of the cord.
