The particle of mass m = 1.2 kg is attached to the end of the light rigid

Question:

The particle of mass m = 1.2 kg is attached to the end of the light rigid bar of length L = 0.6 m. The system is released from rest while in the horizontal position shown, at which the torsional spring is undeflected. The bar is then observed to rotate 30° before stopping momentarily. 

(a) Determine the value of the torsional spring constant kT. 

(b) For this value of kT, determine the speed v of the particle when θ = 15°.
