The system shown in Fig. P3.3 consists of a uniform rod which has length 1, mass m, and mass moment of inertia about its mass center 1. The rod is supported by two springs which have stiffness coefficients ky and k2, as shown in the figure. Determine the system differential equation of motion for small oscillations. Determine also the system natural frequency.
For each of the systems shown in Figure P4.52, the input is the force f andthe outputs are the displacements x1 and x2 of the masses. The equilibriumpositions with f = 0 correspond to x1 = x2 = 0. Neglect any friction betweenthe masses and the surface. Derive the equations of motion of the systems.
A mass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 36 lb/ft.
