(choose chapter or problem)

The light rod is pivoted at O and carries the 8 - and 10-lb particles. If the rod is released from rest at \(\theta=30^{\circ}\) and swings in the vertical plane, calculate  (a) the velocity v of the 8 -lb particle just before it hits the spring and  (b) the maximum compression x of the spring. Assume that x is small so that the position of the rod when the spring is compressed is essentially vertical.
