The ends of a 9-lb rod AB are constrained to move along slots cut in a vertical

Question:

The ends of a 9-lb rod AB are constrained to move along slots cut in a vertical plate as shown. A spring of constant k = 3 lb/in. is attached to end A in such a way that its tension is zero when θ = 0. If the rod is released from rest when θ = 50°, determine the angular velocity of the rod and the velocity of end B when θ = 0.image
