A bucket hangs off the end of a rod rigidly attached to a pulley. A spring acts as a counterbalance. The
spring has a spring constant of 250 N/m. The bucket has a mass of 2 kg. When the angle a is 0°, the spring
is unstretched. What is the volume of water (in liters) that must be put in the bucket in order to for the
rod AB to be horizontal? What are the reactions at pin A in that case? Note that the density of water is
1000 kg/m³.
