2.2 The answer to the right assumes 6061-T6 Aluminum.

2.3 The easiest way to find the static equilibrium point is to define a coordinate system where the origin is at the location where the nonlinear spring is undeflected so the nonlinear spring force is f(x)=24,000x2.  If this is the case, what is the force in the linear spring in term of x? b) 50 rad/s when L = 0.5m
c)
22.36 rad/s when L = 0.75
3.1 Note that the answer given on the handout is missing a term.  The equation of motion should have an "x" term on the right hand side of the equation.  This will come from the spring force which should have an (x-y) or (y-x) depending on what direction you draw the force in your FBD. y(t) = -0.18 cos8t + 0.18

There is a typo in the handout.  The last two plots I want are semilog plots of abs(h1) vs. time and abs(h2) vs. time.

9.1 You only want to determine the stress in the spring, so you want to use the force in the spring, not the total force transmitted. The stress is about 1.31 x 106 N/m2 so the maximum stress is exceeded.
9.2   1.70 x 10-4 m
10.1 Use e from problem 2.72, that is, e = 0.3 m. FT = 99.2 N
10.2   me = 9.91 kg-m
z = 0.396

18.1 The figure in the book is not correct.  At t = 5 the curve should be going down.

20.1 Note that the modes may be multiplied by any constant and it is still a mode. w1 = 521 rad/s
w2  = 2575 rad/s
mode1 = {1 0.955}T
mode 2 = {1 -0.105}T

w2  = 2.288sqrt(k/m)
mode1 = {0.618 1}T
mode 2 = {-1.62 1}T
20.3 Don't forget the weight on your FBD's. w1 = 2.29 rad/s
w2  = 2.40 rad/s
mode1 = {1  1}T
mode 2 = {1 -1}T

29.1 For the modes the first coordinate is x and the second q.  The hardest part of this problem is the kinetic energy for Lagrange's equations.  Also, be careful with your derivatives. hw29_1.jpg (25653 bytes)(click on image)

HOMEWORK SET #9

 

Problem Hints Answers
31.1 The matrix shows up better using Internet Explorer rather than Netscape. w1 = 0.735 sqrt(k/m) rad/s
w2 = 1.66 sqrt(k/m) rad/s
w
3 = 2.17 sqrt(k/m) rad/s

31.2   a) mode 1 is not mass normalized
b) -0.562
32.1 The modes are mass normalized so you know what [F]T[K][F] equals. x1(t) = 0.5 cos(t)-0.5 cos(sqrt(3)t)
x2(t) = cos(t)
x3(t) = 0.5 cos(t)+0.5 cos(sqrt(3)t)

33.1 Since we are just interested in the steady state solution, assume the homogeneous solution is transient (even though in this case it is not since there is zero damping).

These answers have not been checked so if you get something different please let me know.
b) w1 = 19.23  rad/s
w2 = 44.72  rad/s
w
3 = 58.14  rad/s
c)
mode1 = {0.00117 0.00186 0.00137}T
 mode2 = {-0.001054 0.001054 -0.00527}T
mode 3 = {-0.00159 0.000667 0.00451}T
d) x1(t) = 0.154x10-5sin40t
x2(t) = -0.257x10-5sin40t
x3(t) = 0.428x10-5sin40t
