Rod AB of length l and negligible weight lies in a vertical plane and is pinned to

Question:

Rod AB of length l and negligible weight lies in a vertical plane and is pinned to blocks A and B. The weight of each block is W, and the blocks are connected by an elastic cord which passes over a pulley at C. Neglecting friction between the blocks and the guides, determine the value of θ for which the tension in the cord is equal to
(a) zero,
(b) W.
