Rod AB has a weight of 6 lb and is attached to two smooth collars at its ends by ball-and-socket joints. If collar A is moving downward with a speed of 8 ft/s when z = 3 ft, determine the speed of A at the instant z = 0. The spring has an unstretched length of 2 ft. Neglect the mass of the collars. Assume the angular velocity of rod AB is perpendicular to its axis.
