The mechanism is released from rest with 8 = 180°, where the uncompressed spring of stiffness k=900 N/m is just touching the underside of the 4-kg collar. Motion is in the vertical plane, and the mass of the links may be neglected. Vertical 3 kg 3 200 mm 300 mm 200 mm a) Determine the angle corresponding to the maximum compression of the spring. b) Find linear velocity of each mass when = 90°. c) Comment on the conservation of the mechanical energy for the system.
