Solve Problem using the principle of potential energy. Investigate the stability of the bar when it is in the equilibrium position.
Problem
The uniform bar AB weighs 10 lb. If the attached spring is unstretched when θ = 90°, usethe method of virtual work and determine the angle θ for equilibrium. Note that the spring always remains in the vertical position due to the roller guide.
