Assume that in the horizontal position the system is in static equilibrium and that all angles remain small. Solution: a) In addition to the coordinate θ identified in the original figure, we also define x and y as the displacment of the block and end of the bar respecively. The directions ˆı and ˆ are defined as shown in the figure. A free body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Note that the tension in the cable between the bar and the block is unknown and represented with T while the reaction force FR is included, although both its magnitude and direction are unspecified. In terms of the identifed coordinates, the angular acceleration of the bar αβ/F and the F linear acceleration of the block aG are αβ/F

We can also relate the identified coordinates as ℓ x = θ, y = ℓ θ. 2 The equations of motion for this system can be obtained with linear momentum balance applied to the block and angular momentum balance aout O on the bar. These can be written as ³ ´ X F ¨ ˆ, F = m aG −→ T − k x − c x˙ ˆ = 2 m x ¶ µ 2 X ℓ ˆ ˆ = m ℓ θ¨ k. M O = I O αβ/F −→ − T − k y ℓ k 2 3 3

Solving the first equation for T and substituting into the second equation yields − (2 m x ¨ + k x + c x) ˙

Using the coordinate relations we can obtain the equation of motion as 5 m ℓ2 ¨ c ℓ2 ˙ 5 k ℓ2 θ+ θ+ θ = 0. 6 4 4 b) In the above equation the equivalent mass, damping, and stiffness are meq =

c) Evaluating the damping ratio and natural frequency we find that for the given values of the parameters ωn = 15.8 rad/s, ζ = 7.91 × 10−4 . Therefore the system is underdamped and the general solution can be written as ³ ³ p ´ ³ p ´´ θ(t) = e−ζ ωn t a sin ωn 1 − ζ 2 t + b cos ωn 1 − ζ 2 t , where a and b are arbitrary constants used to fit the initial conditions. Evaluating θ(t) ˙ at t = 0 yields and θ(t) p ˙ θ(0) = b = 0, θ(0) = −ζ ωn b + ωn 1 − ζ 2 a = 10 rad/s, so that the general solution becomes ³ ´ θ(t) = 0.632 e−0.0125 t sin 15.8 t .

Solution: An appropriate free-body diagram is shown to the right. Notice that the two springs are effectively in parallel, as the displacement across each spring is identical. Linear momentum balance on this block provides X F F = m aG , (−k1 x − k2 x − b x) ˙ ˆı = m x ¨ ˆı, 6

x(0) ˙ = 0 cm/s.

x = −r θ.

An appropriate free-body diagram is shown to the right. We note that (ˆı, ˆ) are related to the direcˆ2 ) as tions (ˆ e1 , e ˆı = cos φ e ˆ1 + sin φ e ˆ2 , ˆ = − sin φ e ˆ1 + cos φ e ˆ2 .

Angular momentum balance about the contact point C yields X MC = I C αD/F , µ ¶ ³ ´ 3 m r2 ¨ ˆ ˆ = (2 r) k z + r c x˙ − m g r sin φ k θ k. 2 7

Eliminating the coordinates z and θ, we can write the equation of motion in terms of x as 3m x ¨ + c x˙ + 4 k x = m g sin φ. 2 Since the gravitational force has been included in the development of this equation of motion, the coordinates are measured with respect to the unstretched position of the spring. b) Assuming the system is underdamped, the frequency of the free vibrations is ωd = p ωn 1 − ζ 2 , where s r c beq keq 8k = √ ωn = = , ζ= p , meq 3m 2 keq meq 2 6km so that ωd =

c) The system is critically damped when ζ = 1, which corresponds to a damping coefficient of √ ccr = 2 6 k m. d) The system is stationary in static equilibrium, so that x ≡ x0 = constant—both x˙ and x ¨ vanish, and the equation of motion reduces to 4 k x0 = m g sin φ. Solving for x0 , the equilibrium displacement is x0 =

z1 = r1 θ,

−k2 z2 ˆı

z2 = −r2 θ.

Notice that because of these coordinate definitions, a rotation with positive θ gives rise to a negative value in both x and z2 . Likewise, we see that x = −z1 . Using the free-body diagram shown to the right, linear momentum balance on the block provides X F F = m aG ,

Eliminating the unknown tension T from these equations and using the coordinate relations, the equation of motion becomes ´ ´ ³ ³ I + m r12 θ¨ + k1 r12 + k2 r22 θ = m g r1 . 9

The equilibrium rotation of the disk thus is found to be θeq =

m g r1 . k1 r12 + k2 r22

With this, the equilibrium deflection of each spring is found to be m g r12 , k1 r12 + k2 r22 m g r1 r2 =− . k1 r12 + k2 r22

z1,eq = r1 θeq = z2,eq = −r2 θeq

b) The general free response of the disk can be expressed as θ(t) = θeq + A sin(ωn t) + B cos(ωn t), where θeq is given above, A and B are arbitrary constants, and s k1 r12 + k2 r22 . ωn = I + m r12 The system is released with the initial conditions: ˙ θ(0) = 0,

θ(0) = 0, so that solving for the arbitrary constants A = 0,

B = −θeq .

With this, the damping ratio and natural frequency are: r √ 1 −1 3 s , ζ= . ωn = 12 4 Therefore, the system is underdamped and the general response can be written as: ³ ´ x(t) = e−ζ ωn t A cos(ωd t) + B sin(ωd t) .

Solution: a) We define θ, x1 , and x2 as indicated in the above figure. In particular, x1 and x2 represent the displacement in their respective springs as measured from their unstretched position. These coordinates are related through the following transformations: x1 = −r1 θ,

x2 = −r2 θ.

An appropriate free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the gravitational force must be included to determine the equilibrium deflection in the system. To eliminate the reaction force on the disk, angular momentum balance is applied about the center, yielding: X ˆ MG = I G θ¨ k, ´ ³ ˆ = I G θ¨ k. ˆ T r1 + k2 r2 x2 k

−m g ˆ −k1 x1 ˆ

Finally, eliminating the unknown tension from these equations and using the above coordinate transformations, this single-degree-of-freedom system can be modeled with the equation: ´ ´ ³ ³ I G + m r12 θ¨ + k1 r12 + k2 r22 θ = (m g r1 ). This equation of motion determines the equilibrium position θeq (with θ¨eq = 0) to be: θeq =

m g r1 . k1 r12 + k2 r22

Therefore, the equilibrium displacements in each spring are: x1,eq = −r1 θeq =

m g r12 , k1 r12 + k2 r22

x2,eq = −r2 θeq =

m g r1 r2 . k1 r12 + k2 r22

b) Define new coordinates z1 and z2 , which measure the displacement in springs 1 and 2 with respect to the static equilibrium position, that is: z1 = x1 − x1,eq ,

z2 = x2 − x2,eq .

Likewise, let φ represent the angular displacement of the disk from the static equilibrium position: φ = θ − θeq .

14

Therefore, the potential energy of this system can be written as: V

= =

1 1 k1 z12 + k2 z22 , 2 2 ´ 1³ k1 r12 + k2 r22 φ2 . 2

Also, the kinetic energy becomes: T

1 G ˙2 1 I φ + m z˙12 , 2 2 ´ 1³ G I + m r12 φ˙ 2 . 2

= =

If the system is released from rest at the unstretched position of the springs, then: φ(0) = −θeq = −

m g r1 , k1 r12 + k2 r22

˙ φ(0) = 0.

At this initial state, the potential and kinetic energies become: T0 = 0,

V0 =

(m g r1 )2 . 2(k1 r12 + k2 r22 )

Because this system is conservative, the total energy, E = T + V remains constant. Therefore, when the kinetic energy is maximal, the potential energy is minimal, that is: V1 = 0,

T1 =

´ 1³ G I + m r12 φ˙ 2max . 2

Finally, conservation of energy implies that V0 = T1 , and solving for φ˙ max we find that: s (m g r1 )2 . φ˙ max = G (I + m r12 )(k1 r12 + k2 r22 )

z = −2 r θ, 15

z = 2 x.

c

A free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the force in the upper spring depends on z, rather than x, while the friction force has an unknown magnitude f . Because the disk is assumed to roll without slip, we are unable to specify the value of f , but instead can relate the displacement and rotation of the disk through the coordinate relations above.

c

a) We choose coordinates (x1 , x2 , θ), where x1 measures the displacement of the first mass in the −ˆ direction, x2 measures the displacement of the second mass in the ˆ direction, ˆ direction.

However, these three coordinates are dependent through the transformations: r x2 = r θ. x1 = θ, 2 Therefore, the Lagrangian reduces to: µ ¶ µ ¶ 1 7mr2 ˙2 1 5kr2 L=T −V = θ2 . θ − 2 4 2 4 Further, the generalized force resulting from the viscous damper becomes: Qθ = −

cr2 ˙ θ, 4

so that the equation of motion for this system can be reduced to: (7m) θ¨ + c θ˙ + (5k) θ = 0. b) For this system the natural frequency and damping ratio are: r c 5k . , ζ= √ ωn = 7m 2 35 km Therefore, the damped natural frequency becomes: r r p c2 5k 2 1− ωd = ωn 1 − ζ = . 7m 140 km c) For a critically damped system, ζ = 1, so that we may solve for c = ccr to yield: √ ccr = 2 35 km. Problem 16: In the figure, the disk has mass m, radius r, 2 and moment of inertia IG = mr about the 2 mass center G, and is attached to a block of mass m which rolls across the surface. If the disk rolls without slip (µ is sufficiently large), while the block moves without friction:

a) find the equations of motion for this system; b) for m = 2 kg, b = 0.5 (N · s)/m, and k = 8 N/m, find the frequency of oscillation for the system. 17

m

Solution: a) Let x denote the translational displacement of G in the ˆı direction, while θ denotes the ˆ direction. If T is the tension between the disk angular displacement of the disk in the k and the mass and f is the frictional force acting on the disk, the equations of motion on the disk and the mass are: (−kx − bx˙ + T + f ) ˆı = m¨ x ˆı, 2 ˆ ˆ = mr θ¨ k, (rf ) k 2 (−T ) ˆı = m¨ x ˆı. In addition, x and θ are related through the kinematic constraint: x = −rθ. Eliminating (θ, T, f ) we obtain a single degree-of-freedom system on x of the form: 5m x ¨ + bx˙ + kx = 0. 2 b) From the above equation we identify the undamped natural frequency and damping ratio as: r 2k b ωn = , ξ=√ . 5m 10km Thus, the damped natural frequency is: ωd = ωn

Using this constraint to eliminate θ, the equation of motion reduces to: mbar z¨ + b z˙ + k z = 0. 3 For the parameter values given above, this becomes: ¶ µ ³ ´ ³ ´ 2 kg z¨ + 2 N/(m/s) z˙ + 4 N/m z = 0. 3 19

For this system, the damping ratio and natural frequency can be expressed as: r √ 3k 3b ωn = , ζ = √ mbar 2 kmbar r √ 3 . = 6 rad/s = 8 p b) The frequency of oscillation, ωd = ωn 1 − ζ 2 , reduces to: s √ µ ¶2 15 3k 3b − rad/s = 1.94 rad/s. = ωd = mbar 2mbar 2 c) If the mass of the spring is considered, it is treated as an additional equivalent mass meq = mspring /3 located at the end of the bar.

Solution: a) Let x represent the displacement of mass m in the vertical direction and θ measure the angular displacement of the pulley, both measured from the static equilibrium position. If T represents the tension in the cable supporting mass m, then T = kr 2 θ, where θ is the angular displacement of the massless pulley from static equilibrium. In addition, x we find that θ is related to the linear displacement of mass m as θ = 2r . As a result, in the ˆ direction, the equation governing the motion of the mass is: m¨ x + bx˙ +

As a result, we find that the the equivalent spring constant is keq = k4 . b) The damping ratio and natural frequency are simply: r √ b b keq k =√ = √ . , ωn = ζ= p m 2 m 2 keq m km 21

In terms of the given parameters, we find ζ = 4.0 and ωn = 3 rad/s.

For these values, the general solution can be written as: ³ √ ´ x(t) = A e−2 t sin 2 35 t + φ , where A and φ are arbitrary constants used to fit the initial conditions.

Therefore the eigenvalues of this system are: ³ ´ p √ λ1,2 = ωn ζ ± ζ 2 − 1 = 3(−2 ± 3). √ The dominant eigenvalue is λ = −6 + 3 3, and so the time t = τ required for the amplitude of the free vibration to be reduced to within 2% of zero is: τ∼

x2 = rθ.

We define the tension in the left and right cable as T1 and T2 respectively. Thus, linear momentum balance on the two blocks, and angular momentum balance on the disk yield: r − T2 r 2 T1 − kx1 − cx˙ 1 T2 + kx2 T1

Eliminating the two unknown tensions from these three equations, we find that the equation of motion (on θ) can be reduced to: ¶ ¶ µ 2¶ µ µ cr 5kr2 7mr2 ¨ ˙ θ = 0. θ+ θ+ 4 4 4 2

b) Identify the damping constant b that gives rise to critical damping; Solution: For this system the differential equation of motion can be written as: m¨ x + bx˙ + kx = 0, k b x ¨ + x˙ + x = 0, m m subject to specified initial conditions. a) With the given values for the mass, stiffness, and damping coefficient, the above equation becomes: x ¨ + (6.5 kg/s)x˙ + (9 kg/s2 )x = 0, whose characteristic equation reduces to: λ2 +

13 λ + 9 = 0, 2

which has two real solutions of the form: λ=

Thus the system has two purely real eigenvalues and the resulting system is overdamped and decays exponentially with no sustained oscillations. The general solution is given as: 9 x(t) = c1 e− 2 t + c2 e−2t . For the initial conditions x(0) = 0 m, x(0) ˙ = 10.0 m/s, we find that: c1 = 4 m,

c2 = −4 m,

and the general solution to this equation, subject to these initial conditions, becomes: ´ ³ ´ ³ −1 −1 x(t) = 4 m e−(9/2 s )t − e−(2 s )t . b) For this system, the damping ratio is: b . ζ= √ 2 km 30

Thus, for a critically damped system ζ = 1, and solving for b with m = 2 kg and k = 18 N/m, we find: bcr = 12 (N · s)/m. Problem 32: In the figure, the disk has mass m, radius r, 2 and moment of inertia IG = mr about the 2 mass center G.

Assuming that the disk rolls without slip, the rotation and translation of the disk can be related through the constraint equation: x = −rθ.

Using linear and angular momentum balance on the disk, we find that: X F F = (f − kx − bx) ˙ ˆı = m¨ x ˆı = m aG , 2 X ˆ = mr θ¨ k ˆ = IG αβ/F F. MG = (f r) k 2 Eliminating the unknown frictional force, and using the kinematic constraint, we find the equation of motion is: ¶ µ 3m x ¨ + bx˙ + kx = 0. 2 b) We can write this differential equation in standard form, that is: r x ¨ + (2ζωn )x˙ + (ωn2 )x = 0,

If the system is critically damped, then this implies that the damping ratio is unity. Therefore, solving for b when ζ = 1, we find: √ bcritical = 6km. c) When the system is critically damped, the general solution takes the form: ¡ ¢ x(t) = c1 + c2 t e−ωn t , while this can be differentiated with respect to time to obtain the velocity: ¡ ¢ x(t) ˙ = (c2 − ωn c1 ) − (ωn c2 ) t e−ωn t . If the system is released from rest when a known initial displacement, then the initial conditions are (x(0), x) ˙ = (x0 , 0). Thus, returning these to the general solution, we find: x0 = x(0) 0 = x(0) ˙

Solving for c1 and c2 , the solution to these initial conditions becomes: ¡ ¢ x(t) = x0 1 + ωn t e−ωn t , where recall that ωn =

A free-body diagram for this system is shown to the right. Notice that the force in the upper spring depends on z, rather than x, while the friction force has an unknown magnitude f . Because the disk is assumed to roll without slip, we are unable to specify the value of f , but instead can relate the displacement and rotation of the disk through the coordinate relations above.

Therefore, this leads to the following scalar equations in the ˆı2 and ˆ2 directions: mx ¨ + k x = f + m g sin θ, N = m g cos θ. a) If µ = 0, then the friction forces vanishes and the first of the above equations reduces 35

to: mx ¨ + k x = m g sin θ. The equilibrium displacement of the mass, xeq , then can be found to be: xeq =

b) With µ 6= 0, an equilibrium state is maintained provided: ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯f ¯ ≤ µ N, ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯k x − m g sin θ¯ ≤ µ m g cos θ.

Therefore, if the system is released from x = 0, the block begins to slide when: tan θ = µ.

N = m g cos θ.

with initial displacement z(0) = −(m g sin θ)/k. Over one complete cycle of motion, for a frictionally damped system the amplitude decreases by a value: ∆A=−

Solution: a) We measure the displacement of the mass from the static equilibrium of the frictionless F system, i.e., µ = 0, so that the acceleration of the block is aG = x ¨ˆı. Thus linear momentum balance yields: m¨ xˆı = Fspringˆı + fµˆı + (N − mg)ˆ. The spring force is Fspring = −2kx, while the force due to sliding friction opposes the velocity and is simply: x˙ fµ = −µmg , |x| ˙ since the normal force balances the gravitational force, i.e., N = mg.

Problem 40: For the spring-mass system with Coulombic damping, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. If the coefficient of friction is µ and the gravitational constant is g:

x I=0

k m

a) determine the governing equations of motion;

µ

b) if the system is released from rest in the unstretched position (x(0) = 0, x(0) ˙ = 0), for what values of µ will the system move; m

c) what is the displacement (from the unstretched position) of the upper block when it first comes to rest? Solution:

Notice that x describes the displacement of both masses and, since the pulley is massless, the tension in the string connecting the masses is constant, say T . Also, notice that in part c we ask for the displacement from the unstretched position of the spring, rather than from equilibrium. Therefore we include the gravitational force which will influence this result. a) With the frictional force defined as F = f ˆı, linear momentum balance on the upper and lower block yields: m¨ x + kx = f + T, m¨ x = mg − T, where the frictional force is defined as: x˙ f = −µmg |x| ˙ , |f | ≤ µmg,

38

x˙ 6= 0, x˙ = 0.

Eliminating the unknown tension T , the equation of motion is given as: 2m x ¨ + kx = f + mg, where f is defined as above and depends on the motion of the system, that is, the value of x. ˙ b) If the system is released from rest in the unstretched position, it will remain there provided the magnitude of the frictional force is less than µmg—the transition to movement occurs when |f | = µmg. Thus the system does not move is |f | ≤ µmg and x ¨ = 0. Substituting these conditions into the equations of motion we find: |f | = |kx − mg| ≤ µmg, which, solving for µ with x(0) = 0, implies that the system does not move if µ ≥ 1. Therefore, the system does move when: µ < 1. c) The displacement of the upper block when it first comes to rest is: x1 =

2(1 − µ)mg . k

This can be found by either solving the equations of motion explicitly, or through a work-energy analysis. Since the initial and final kinetic energy is zero, the work done by the frictional force balances out the change in potential energy from the spring and gravity. Problem 41: For the spring-mass system with Coulombic damping, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. If the coefficient of friction is µ and the gravitational constant is g:

x

g m

a) determine the governing equations of motion;

k

b) if the system is released from rest, so that x(0) ˙ = 0, for what range of initial displacements (from the unstretched position) will the block come to rest when the block first comes again to rest (x(t ˙ 1 ) = 0 for t1 > 0)?

µ

Solution: a) The equations of motion can be written as: m¨ x + kx = f,

39

where f is the force due to friction, modeled by Coulomb’s law of friction as: f

= −µmg

|f |

≤ µmg,

x˙ , |x| ˙

x˙ 6= 0, x˙ = 0.

b) If the system is released from rest, the initial displacement must be sufficiently large so that the block slides, rather than remaining at rest. Sliding does not occur if the force due to friction is sufficient to balance the elastic force, that is, µmg ≥ f = kx(0). Thus, solving for x(0) we find, that for sliding to occur: |x(0)| >

µmg . k

However, if |x(0)| is too large, the system will undergo multiple reversals as the amplitude of the motion decays. Consider the block sliding to the left (x˙ < 0), released from rest with initial displacement x(0) > µmg k . Thus the equation of motion becomes: m¨ x + kx = µmg, which has the general solution: 

 µ ¶ µmg k µmg   x(t) = x(0) − cos t + . k m k

Therefore, when the block comes again to rest at time t1 (unknown), the mass is at the position: µmg x(t1 ) = 2 − x(0). k At this point, the block sticks if and only if |x(t1 )| ≤ we find that: µmg x(0) ≤ 3 . k

µmg k .

Therefore, solving for x(0),

< x(0) ≤ 3 µmg So for a block with x(0) > 0, the allowable range for x(0) is µmg k k . Together with an identical argument for x(0) < 0 yields the total allowable range as: µmg µmg < |x(0)| ≤ 3 . k k

40

Problem 42: For the system shown to the right, x is measured from the unstretched position of the spring. Each block has mass m and the disk has moment of inertia I and radius r. The coefficient of friction between the upper block and the table is µ. If the gravitational constant is g:

x (I, r)

k m µ

a) find the equations of motion which determine x(t); b) what is the minimum value of µ so that the system slips when release from rest with x(0) = 0;

m

c) what is the period of the free oscillations? d) if the system is released from rest, what is the range of initial displacements x(0) so that the systems comes to rest after exactly one complete cycle? Solution: We begin by defining two additional coordinates, θ, which describes the rotation of ˆ direction (clockwise), and y which measures the displacement of the disk in the −k the hanging mass in the −ˆ direction. These additional coordinates are related to the displacement of the upper mass by the constraint equations: y = x,

θ=

x . r

a) On each mass the equations of motion can be written as: ³ ´ ³ ´ X F F = − k x + T1 + f ˆı + N − mg ˆ = m¨ x ˆı = m aG1 , ³ ´ X ˆ = −I O θ¨k ˆ = I O αD/F F, MO = T 1 r − T 2 r k ³ ´ X F F = T2 − mg ˆ = −m¨ y ˆı = m aG2 , Notice that I O = I 6= 0, so that provided θ¨ 6= 0 the tensions T1 and T2 are not equal. Taking the components of these equations and eliminating the unknowns (T1 , T2 ), while using the constraint equations, we find that the equation of motion for this system reduces to: ¶ µ I ¨ + k x = f + mg, 2m + 2 x r where f the value of the frictional force in the ˆı direction, can be written as: ½ x˙ −µmg |x| x˙ 6= 0 ˙ , f= f0 , |f0 | ≤ µmg, x˙ = 0.

41

b) The minimum value for slip is simply µmin = 0. If we would like to find the range of µ for which slip occurs, we resort to the value of f at static equilibrium. Assuming (x, ˙ x ¨) = (0, 0), the equations of motion reduce to: kx = fstatic + mg, where fstatic represents the force required to maintain static equilibrium. Solving for this quantity and using the frictional inequality, we find: |fstatic | = |kx0 − mg| ≤ µmg. Therefore, solving for µ yields: ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ kx0 ¯ ¯ kx0 ¯¯ µ ≥ ¯¯ , − 1¯¯ = ¯¯1 − mg mg ¯

which provides a necessary condition for sticking at x = x0 . So for sliding to occur for x0 = 0, this implies that µ < 1. c) The period of oscillation for a frictionally damped system is identical to that of an undamped system. Therefore: s 2m + rI2 2π T = = 2π . ωn k d) Let δ describe the displacement of the system from equilibrium. The amplitude of oscillation will decay by a value of ∆ = 4µmg/k over one cycle of motion. Therefore, Since the system will come to rest within the range: −

µmg µmg < |δfinal | ≤ , k k

the initial displacement δ0 from the equilibrium in the absence of friction must be in the range: µmg 3µmg 5µmg µmg − +∆= < |δ0 | ≤ = + ∆. k k k k However, the equilibrium position corresponds to xeq = mg k , and so the allowable range of x0 is: mg ¯¯ 5µmg 3µmg ¯¯ < ¯x0 − . ¯≤ k k k

Solution: We define x(t) as the vertical displacement of the geometric center of the rotor as measured from static equilibrium. As a result, the mass center G is described by the position z(t) = x(t) + ε sin(ωt). Note that ε measures the eccentricity of the mass center, not the location of the mass imbalance. Consequently, the governing equations of motion can be written: m¨ z = −kx − bx, ˙ m¨ x − εω sin(ωt) = −kx − bx, ˙ 2

a) find the equations of motion in terms of z, the relative displacement between the mass and the base (assume the spring has zero unstretched length);

u(t) = 4 sin(ω t) m

b) what is the amplitude of the resulting motion in terms of the frequency ratio r; c) for what forcing frequencies is the resulting amplitude of the steady-state motion Z ≤ 8? Solution: a) We construct a free-body diagram as shown. The only forces acting on the mass arise from the gravitational force and the spring force. However, the acceleration of the mass with respect to the ground is written as: ³ ´ F aG = u ¨ + z¨ ˆ. Therefore, linear momentum balance takes the form: X F F = m aG , ³ ´ ³ ´ − kz − mg ˆ = m z¨ + u ¨ ˆ.

−m g ˆ

−k z ˆ

Substituting in the expression for u(t), and taking the component in the ˆ direction, we obtain the governing equation of motion: m¨ z + kz z¨ + (4 s−2 )z

= −mg − m¨ u, = −9.81 m/s2 + 4ω 2 sin(ωt) m,

Notice that each term has units of acceleration, that is, m/s2 . In what follows we will dispense with the explicit inclusion of the units. For this system ωn = 2, ζ = 0, and the amplitude of the forcing is F = 4ω 2 . Thus we have frequency-squared excitation. b) Using the above values for the natural frequency and the damping ratio, we find that
