Homework Statement
Hello,
I'm having trouble with the following problem. I am given a square of length L and mass M that is fixed at its center. A rod of length l is is attached to the top left corner of the square, with a mass m attached on the other end. A motor applies a torque on the rod, this torque has magnitude t0 eiwt. Where t0 is a drive torsion. I need to find theta1, and theta2.
theta1 denotes the angle between the rod and the square, while theta2 denotes the angle of rotation.
I have attached an image for some more clarity.
Thank you

The Attempt at a Solution
I know that torque is given by F x r, but I'm not seeing how that helps me find either of the angles[/B]
