The door will close automatically using torsional springs mounted on the hinges. If the torque on each hinge is M = kθ, where θ is measured in radians, determine the required torsional stiffness k so that the door will close (θ = 0°) with an angular velocity ω = 2 rad/s when it is released from rest at θ = 90°. For the calculation, treat the door as a thin plate having a mass of 70 kg.
