Problem

A light sleeve with a radially light rod of length l attached to it is fitted with a small gap on a rotating horizontal axis of radius R. A heavy weight is attached to the end of the rod. Determine the angle of deflection of the rod when the sleeve rotates along with the axis from the radial direction, if the coefficient of friction between the sleeve and the axis is µ.
