Transcribed Image Text:### Educational Content: Dynamics of Autonomous Surface Vessels
**Problem Statement:**
Suppose an autonomous surface vessel (ASV) traveling with velocity \( ^I \mathbf{v}_{G/O} = \mathbf{v} \hat{i}_1 \) begins to make a turn by adjusting the thrust of its left and right thrusters, \( T_A \) and \( T_B \), respectively. The center of mass of the ASV is located at \( G \) and the ASV is symmetric about its vertical axis. The ASV also experiences a drag force that is proportional to its speed and opposes its velocity. At the instant shown, the drag force is \( \mathbf{D} = -k v^2 \hat{i}_1 \) where \( k \) is a drag coefficient.
**Tasks:**
1. **Modeling the Mass Moment of Inertia:**
- Approximate the ASV as consisting of three rigid bodies: a flat plate as a center body of mass \( 6m \) and two slender rods housing the propulsion assemblies, each of mass \( m \), at the outboard sides of the vehicle.
- Determine the mass moment of inertia, \( I_G \), about the vertical axis passing through the center of mass \( G \). *(Hint: Use the parallel axis theorem.)*
2. **Calculating Inertial and Angular Accelerations:**
- At the instant shown, determine the inertial acceleration vector \( ^I \mathbf{a}_{G/O} = a_x \hat{i}_1 + a_y \hat{i}_2 \) of the center of mass and the angular acceleration \( \alpha \) of the ASV.
- *(Hint: Solve the system of equations that result from applying Euler’s 1st and 2nd Law.)*
**Illustration Explanation:**
- **Diagram:**
- The diagram depicts the ASV viewed from above. It shows forces and dimensions relevant to the problem.
- The center of mass \( G \) is located at the geometrical center.
- Thrust forces \( T_A \) and \( T_B \) are shown acting on the ASV.
- A drag force \( D \) is acting in the opposite direction of \( \hat{i}_1 \).
- The distance from the center to the thrusters is denoted as \( L \).
