At the instant shown, the 50-lb bar rotates clockwise at 2
Chapter 18, Problem R18-6(choose chapter or problem)
At the instant shown, the 50-lb bar rotates clockwise at 2 rad/s. The spring attached to its end always remains vertical due to the roller guide at C. If the spring has an unstretched length of 2 ft and a stiffness of k = 6 lb/ft, determine the angular velocity of the bar the instant it has rotated \(30^{\circ}\) clockwise.
