Two small balls, each of mass m are connected by a light rigid rod of length L. The system is suspended from its centre by a thin wire of torsional constant k. The rod is rotated about the wire through an angle θ0 and released. Find the force exerted by the rod on one of the balls as the system passes through the mean position.
