  1. Find the moment of inertia of the object, consisting of the rod and two spheres, about \(L\).
    The object is pivoted at \(A\) so that it can rotate freely about \(L\). The object is released from rest with the rod making an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the downward vertical. The greatest angular speed attained by the object in the subsequent motion is \(\frac { 9 } { 20 } \sqrt { } \left( \frac { g } { a } \right)\).
  2. Find the value of \(k\).
