of Motion: When the rod is in equilibrium, , and
. writing the moment equation of motion about point Bby
referring to the free-body diagram of the rod,
Fig. a,
hus, the initial stretch of the spring is .When the rod rotates about
Bthrough a small angle , the spring stretches further by .Thus, the
in the spring is . Also, the velocity of end C
the rod is .Thus,.The mass moment of inertia of
rod about Bis . Again, referring to Fig. aand
writing the moment equation of motion about
B,
is small, .Thus, this equation becomes
Ans.
Comparing this equation to that of the standard form,
