Q1; (12 Points) consider the system shown below. The sender bar has a mass of 3.0 kg, and a length of 0.15 m. The block at the tip of the bar has a mass of 1.0 kg (a) Derive the governing differential equation. (b) Determine the parameters k and c such that the damping ratio is equal to 0.4 and the damped natural frequency @y=2.0 Hz. (©) Find the response x(t) of the block m ifthe system is given the initial conditions x)=0m, x =1.0 mis (@) Sketch the response and compute the period of oscillation. Q2: (8 Points) A uniform rod has a mass m and a length L is supported vertically by the spring k as shown below. Discuss the stability of the system and write down the corresponding response.
