Figure Q3(b) shows a uniform bar AB of mass = 8 kg hinged at point C.Point A is connected to a spring to maintain the bar in vertical direction, and thestiffness k = 500 N/m. If point A is displaced counter-clockwise by a small angleθ = 3.5 degree and released,(i) With the free body diagram and kinetic diagram, determine the initialhorizontal displacement of A.(ii) Determine the period of vibration.(iii) Determine the maximum velocity and acceleration at point A.
