QUESTION 5 [20 MARKS]
The motion of the uniform 40 kg door, as shown in Figure 5, is guided at its ends by the track. If it is released from rest at t = 0, determine the door's angular velocity at the instant t = 300. The spring is originally stretched 0.3 m when the door is held open, t = 0. Assume the door can be treated as a thin plate, and there is a spring and pulley system on each of the two sides of the door.
