Chapter 3.8, Problem 108P
A thermos bottle is half-filled with water and is left open to the atmospheric air at 60°F and 35 percent relative humidity. If heat transfer to the water through the thermos walls and the free surface is negligible, determine the temperature of water when phase equilibrium is established.

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.

A linear system is one that satisfies the principle of superposition. 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:
