The 50-kg rectangular door panel is held in the vertical position by rod CB. When the rod is removed, the panel closes due to its own weight. The motion of the panel is controlled by a spring attached to a cable that wraps around the half pulley. To reduce excessive slamming, the door panel's angular velocity is limited to 0.5 rad/s at the instant of closure. Determine the minimum stiffness k of the spring if the spring is unstretched when the panel is in. the vertical position. Neglect the half pulley's mass.
