nice sum dude
1st i think u can at least find the v differnece across the rotaing rod (i am assuming u can)
at time t the angle made will be wt
and the distance bc will be theta R (trigo)
now u hv to find the eq resistance the resistance of the part bc and the other part of are in parallel (think over it)
now reistance of each portion is propotional to there circmuference
i think u hv enough hints to solve the sums
if u cant solve the whole sum then post in my chatbox
