Question:

Spring AB of constant 2kN/m is attached to two identical drums as shown. Knowing that the spring is unstretched when en θ = 0, determine
(a) The range of values of the mass m of the block for which a position of equilibrium exists,
(b) The range of values of θ for which the equilibrium is stable
