24. In the arrangement shown in figure, AB is a uniform rod of length l = 90 cm and mass M = 2kg. The rod
is free to rotate about a horizontal axis passing through end A. A thread passes over a light, smooth and
small pulley. One end of the thread is attached with end B of the rod and the other end carries a block of
mass m = 1 kg. To keep the system in equilibrium one end of an ideal spring of force constant K = 6000
N/m is attached with mid point of the rod and the other end is fixed such that in equilibrium, the spring
is vertical and the rod is horizontal. If in equilibrium, part of the thread between end B and pulley is
vertical, calculate angular frequency of small oscillations of the system in (rad/s).
