11. A mousetrap spring has a precharge of 1 revolution when it is assembled in the closed position (where the mouse is). If the spring has k=.75 ft-lb/rad stiffness and is latched in the open position (1/2 revolution beyond closed) what is the linear velocity of the segment BC when it is unlatched and reaches the closed position? MMI of the jaw (ABCD) is 1.75x10-s slug-ft?. (Hint: convert rev to rad). Closed B 2 in ะก 3 in Open
