Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 40P
The 200-lb uniform container is suspended by means of a 6-ft-long cable, which is attached to the sides of the tank and passes over the small pulley located at O. If the cable can be attached at either points A and B, or C and D, determine which attachment produces the least amount of tension in the cable. What is this tension?

- The 2-mass system shown below depicts a disk which rotates about its center and has rotational moment of inertia Jo and radius r. The angular displacement of the disk is given by 0. The spring with constant k₂ is attached to the disk at a distance from the center. The mass m has linear displacement & and is subject to an external force u. When the system is at equilibrium, the spring forces due to k₁ and k₂ are zero. Neglect gravity and aerodynamic drag in this problem. You may assume the small angle approximation which implies (i) that the springs and dampers remain in their horizontal / vertical configurations and (ii) that the linear displacement d of a point on the edge of the disk can be approximated by d≈re.

In other words, if an input u₁ yields the output y₁, and an input u2 yields the output y2, the system is said to be linear if a com- bination of the inputs u = u₁ + u2 yield the sum of the outputs y = y1 + y2. Using this fact, determine the output y(t) of the following linear system: given the input: P(s) = = Y(s) U(s) = s+1 s+10 u(t) = e−2+ sin(t) =earrow_forwardThe manometer fluid in the figure given below is mercury where D = 3 in and h = 1 in.
