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

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:

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: ¨ I G + m r12 θ + k1 r12 + k2 r22 θ = (m g r1 ).
This equation of motion determines the equilibrium position θ eq (with θ¨eq = 0) to be: θeq =
m g r1 . k1 r12 + k2 r22
Therefore, the equilibrium displacements in each spring are: 2

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

Also, the kinetic energy becomes: =

If the system is released from rest at the unstretched position of the springs, then: φ(0) =
−θeq = − k1 rm2 +g rk12 r2 , 1
˙ φ(0) = 0.

At this initial state, the potential and kinetic energies become: 2
g r1 ) V 0 = 2(k(m 2 2 . 1 r + k2 r )
T 0 = 0,

Because this system is conservative, the total energy, = + remains constant. Therefore, when the kinetic energy is maximal, the potential energy is minimal, that is:
E T V
T 1 = 12
V 1 = 0,
Finally, conservation of energy implies that φ˙ max =
I G + m r12
φ˙ 2max .
V 0 = T 1, and solving for φ˙ max we find that:
(m g r1 )2 . (I G + m r12 )(k1 r12 + k2 r22 )

c) Find the value of θ so that the system comes to rest after one full cycle exactly at the equilibrium position of the system found in part a (so that the friction force vanishes when the system comes to rest), with: m = 2 kg, k = 32 N/m, µ = 0.35, Solution: 2 are defined to be coincident with the inclined plane and The unit directions ˆı2 and ˆ the coordinate x represents the displacement of the mass from the unstretched position of the spring, as shown in the figure.
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.

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, x eq , then can be found to be: xeq =

Therefore, if the system is released from x = 0, the block begins to slide when: tan θ = µ. c) Define z to be a new coordinate measuring the displacement of the system from static equilibrium: m g z = x sin θ, k

so that the equations of motion become: m z¨ + k z = f,

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:

Solution:
a) We measure the displacement of the mass from the static equilibrium of the frictionless system, i.e., µ = 0, so that the acceleration of the block is aG = x ¨ˆı. Thus linear momentum balance yields: F
m¨ xˆı = F springˆı + f µˆı + (N
− mg)ˆ .
The spring force is F spring = velocity and is simply:
−2kx, while the force due to sliding friction opposes the f µ =
−µmg |xx˙˙ | ,
since the normal force balances the gravitational force, i.e., N = mg. If the block is stationary the magnitude of the frictional force is less than µmg. Therefore, the governing equations of motion are: m¨ x + 2kx = f µ ,

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 k
I = 0 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: f = µmg |xx˙˙ | , f µmg,
| |≤
−
38
x˙ = 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 Therefore, the system does move when:
≥ 1.
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

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 t 1 > 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 |xx˙˙ | ,
x˙ = 0,
|f | ≤ µmg,
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 µmg rest with initial displacement x(0) > k . Thus the equation of motion becomes:
|
|
m¨ x + kx = µmg, which has the general solution: x(t) =

− µmg k
k µmg t + . m k

Therefore, when the block comes again to rest at time t 1 (unknown), the mass is at the position: µmg x(t1 ) = 2 x(0). k
−
| ≤ µmg k . Therefore, solving for x(0),
At this point, the block sticks if and only if x(t1 ) we find that: µmg x(0) 3 . k

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

µmg < x(0) k

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:

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 =

a) On each mass the equations of motion can be written as:

G2
Notice that I O = I = 0, so that provided θ¨ = 0 the tensions T 1 and T 2 are not equal. Taking the components of these equations and eliminating the unknowns ( T 1 , T 2 ), while using the constraint equations, we find that the equation of motion for this system reduces to: I 2m + 2 x ¨ + k x = f + mg, r
where f the value of the frictional force in the ˆı direction, can be written as: f =
µmg |xx˙˙ | , x˙ = 0 f 0 , f 0 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 = f static + mg, where f static represents the force required to maintain static equilibrium. Solving for this quantity and using the frictional inequality, we find:
|f static| = |kx0 − mg| ≤ µmg. Therefore, solving for µ yields: µ

−
kx 0 mg
−
1 = 1

which provides a necessary condition for sticking at x = x 0 . 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: T =
2π = 2π ωn
2m + k

d) Let δ describe the displacement of the system from equilibrium. The amplitude of oscillation will decay by a value of ∆ = 4 µmg/k over one cycle of motion. Therefore, Since the system will come to rest within the range: µmg − µmg < |δ final | ≤ , k k the initial displacement δ 0 from the equilibrium in the absence of friction must be in the range: µmg 3µmg 5µmg µmg +∆= < δ 0 = + ∆. k k k k

Solution:
a) This system contains three masses which are each allowed to move in only one direction. The upper mass slides horizontally with displacement x1 , while the disk rotates through an angle θ . Finally, the suspended mass moves vertically and its position can be described by the coordinate x 2 . However, because the disk and the suspended mass are connected by an inextensible string, their motion can be related by: x2 = rθ. So this system has only two independent coordinates and therefore it is a two-degreeof-freedom system. b) We utilize the coordinates x 1 , x 2 , and θ, as measured from the unstretched position of the two springs. Therefore, the kinetic and potential energies are written as:
T V

However, x2 and θ are related by the above relationship. Thus eliminating θ, the energies become: 1 1 1 I 2 = (2 m) x˙ 21 + m ˙x22 + x˙ , 2 2 2 r2 2 1 1 = k x21 + k (x2 x1 )2 m g x2 , 2 2

Solution:
We choose the coordinates (x1 , x2 , x3 ), which represent the positions of the three masses. a) To determine the stiffness matrix, we use the stiffness influence coefficients. Maintaining a unit displacement of each mass in turn requires forces of the form: (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = (1, 0, 0) (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = (0, 1, 0) (x1 , x2 , x3 ) = (0, 0, 1)

Therefore, with these coordinates the stiffness matrix is: K =

which leads to the same stiffness matrix. To determine the mass matrix, we could use the inertia influence coefficients, but, for variety, we determine the kinetic energy as:
T = 12 m1 ˙x21 + 12 m2 ˙x22 + 12 m3 ˙x23. Therefore, the mass matrix is: M =
m1 0 0
0 m2 0

b) With this choice of coordinates, the mass matrix is diagonal and the stiffness matrix contains nonzero off-diagonal terms. Thus, the system is statically coupled but dynamically uncoupled. Problem 87:

Alternatively, if we choose coordinates (x1 , x2 , z), where z represents the stretch in the spring connecting m2 and m3 , we can determine the mass and stiffness matrices from the Lagrangian. The kinetic and potential energies are:
