No one could give a credible answer about calculating the moment.
Hi desertfox.
Well we were discussing about having a rotating arm...

The approach makes sense. The dynamic factor is what I am trying to determine.
I think conservation of energy + conservation of momentum would be a good staring point.
Hi desertfox, thank you for the reply.

Hello,
I am new to the forums so I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.
I will try to explain the problem below:
Link OA can pivot around O without friction.
Mass mO is left to free fall for height h guided by the frictionless rod until it hits spring ks.
Spring ks then deforms and...
