Problem 4.25 (Palm III)
The figure shown models the three shafts as massless torsional

springs. When 𝜃1 = 𝜃2 = 0, the springs are at their free I2
lengths. Derive the equations of motion with the torque 𝑇2 as
k2T

• The restoring torque by spring 𝑘1 is against 𝜃1 . k1T θ2
• The restoring torque by spring 𝑘3 is against 𝜃2 .
• Assuming 𝜃1 < 𝜃2 , the restoring torque by spring 𝑘2 θ1
– on rigid body 𝐼1 favors 𝜃1 .
– on rigid body 𝐼2 is against 𝜃2 .
• Accordingly, the moment equations are:
𝐼1 𝜃̈1 = −𝑘1𝑇 𝜃1 + 𝑘2𝑇 (𝜃2 − 𝜃1 )
𝐼2 𝜃̈2 = 𝑇2 − 𝑘3𝑇 𝜃2 − 𝑘2𝑇 (𝜃2 − 𝜃1 )

ℎ = 0.5 m. Consider two cases: (a) 𝑊 = 64 N and (b) 𝑊 = 256 N.

Rayleig’s method for SHM
Energy conservation for SHM:
𝒦max + 𝒱min = 𝒦min + 𝒱max
Since 𝒦min = 0, the conservation reduces to

𝒦max = 𝒱max − 𝒱min


which can be employed to determine the natural frequency
without deriving equations of motion.
