The rod is rotated about end C so that the stone moves in a vertical circle of
radius 85cm.
The angular speed w of the rod and stone is gradually increased from zero until the glue
snaps. The glue fixing the stone snaps when the tension in it is 18N
For the position of the stone at which the glue snaps,
