If the collar P is given a constant acceleration $a = 2.7g$ to the right, the pendulum will assume a steady-state deflection $\theta = 39^\circ$.
Determine the stiffness $k_T$ of the torsional spring which will allow this to happen. The torsional spring is undeformed when the pendulum is in the vertical position. Set $m = 3.3 \, kg$ and $L = 930 \, mm$.
Answer: $k_T = \text{_____} \, Nm/rad$
