11P Work Energy Principle

1. A system consisting of blocks A, B, and C connected by light rods is initially at rest with block C at an angle of 90 degrees. Block C is given a slight push, causing the system to rotate. 2. The problem asks for the velocity of block C as it passes through an angle of 37 degrees. 3. Using conservation of energy, setting the initial potential energy equal to the final kinetic and potential energies allows solving for the velocity of block C at an angle of 37 degrees.

vertical plane. The value of R is 0.8 m.
