The collar has a mass of 5 kg and is confined to move along the smooth circular rod which lies in the horizontal plane. The attached spring has an unstretched length of 200 mm. If at the instant θ = 30° the collar has a speed v = 2m/s, determine the magnitudes of normal force of the rod on the collar and the collar’s acceleration.
