Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Plane Kinetics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 6_10

*6/10 If the collar $P$ of the pendulum of Prob. 6/9 is given a constant acceleration $a = 5g$, what will be the steady-state deflection of the pendulum from the vertical? Use the value $k_T = 7mgL$. [Reference to Prob 6/9: The pendulum consists of a uniform rod of mass $m$ and length $L$, with a particle of mass $m$ at its tip. The torsional spring at $P$ is undeformed when the pendulum is in the vertical position.]
