Question

Pendulum-Spring System Use conservation of energy to derive the equations of motion for the inverted pendulum connected at point A to two horizontal springs with identical stiffness constant $k$ as shown in Figure 2. The pendulum is a thin rod of mass $m$, with center of mass C, and with moment of inertia $I_c$ about point C. The pendulum pivots with no friction. The springs are at rest when $\theta = 0$. Assume that the springs always exert a horizontal force on the pendulum.
