In this system, there are two mass elements: m₁ and m₂. They are con- nected by a spring. m₁ is also connected to a massless rod, which can rotate at its midpoint. The other end of this massless rod is connected to another massless rod, which is connected to the ground through a spring and a damper. This configuration forms the basis of the system. You may assume small deflections for this problem and that the vertical connections are rigid links. When the coordinates y₁, y2, y are equal to zero, the gravi- tational force on the masses is covered by springs (the system is at its static deflection). Two input forces, fi and f2, are applied on the masses m₁ and m2 respectively. HINT: You should not consider the gravity force in your solution. Your tasks: A Short Answer: Which elements (refer to them by their corresponding constants) can store or possess energy in this system? B Draw the FBD for each mass (one for each of m₁ and m₂.

Problem 1: For the truss under the following 3 loading conditions, determine the minimum cost of each truss based on the following: Wood (popsicle sticks) - $100/stick • Cable (thread) - $10/section Please note that all members of the truss are the same length. Given this information, it doesn't matter what length you use, or what "X" is, but if it helps, just make up numbers, i.e. length of 5" and X of 10lbs. In class we will be using members that are approximately 6" long and weights that are approximately % Ib, although on the weights we can just add more to get the desired effect. Come to class with design in hand prepared to assemble the 3 different trusses to test with loads. A) x (lbs) B) x (lbs) x (lbs) x (Ibs) C) x (Ibs) 2x (Ibs)
