Simple Hamonic Motion is defired as a periodic motion of a point along a straight line, such that its acceleration is always towards a fixed point in that line and is proportional to its distance from that point. In other words, its acceleration is proportional to the displacement but acts in an opposite direction. Prove algebraically that the motion of a particle defined by x = cos 2t + 2sin2t is simple harmonic.

A meter stick of total length l is pivoted a distance d from one end on a friction-less bearing. The stick is suspended so that it becomes a pendulum. This is called a "physical" pendulum because the mass is distributed over the body of the stick. Assume the total mass is m and the mass density of the stick is uniform. The acceleration of gravity is g. Find T and V as functions of generalized coordinate θ and velocity ˙θ. Do this by considering the stick to be divided into infinitesimal parts of length dl and integrating to find the total kinetic and potential energy. Set up the Lagrangian and find the equation of motion.

The vibration modes and the motion pattern of a bridge system can be foreseen through the application of eigenvalue and eigenvector. The dynamic system of the bridge can be expressed in the matrix form as: а 1 3] A = |1 0 l2 1 1 al where a is the last digit of your matrix number. If the last digit of your number is zero or one then take a = 2. Use try value v = [1 0 1]T and calculate until |mk+1 – mx| < 0.005 or FIVE (5) iterations whichever comes first. Do the calculations in 3 decimal places. Estimate the mode shape of the vibration by finding the dominant (in absolute value) eigenvalue and its motion pattern (corresponding eigenvector). (а)
