Meriam, Kraige & Bolton — Introduction to Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Rigid Bodies: Problem 7_76

7/76 The uniform slender bar of mass \(\rho\) per unit length is freely pivoted about the \(y\)-axis at the clevis, which rotates about the fixed vertical \(z\)-axis with a constant angular velocity \(\omega\). Determine the steady-state angle \(\theta\) assumed by the bar. Length \(b\) is greater than length \(c\).
