The uniform 15 kg semi-circular disc is supported as shown in the vertical

plane. In the configuration shown, each of the the springs having stiffness
k=2.6 kN/m are unstretched. If the disc is rotated by 90 deg clockwise and
released, calculate the angular acceleration immediately after release using
the work-energy method. Assume all joints to be frictionless and take
g=9.81 m/s2.

Calculate the acceleration of the uniform slender bar of length l

and mass m shown when the moment M is applied suddenly.
Assume all contact to be frictionless.
