Answer to Problem 119RP

The natural frequency of the inverted pendulum is 12π2kb2ml2gl.

The restriction imposed on the system is k>mgl2b2.

Explanation of Solution

Draw the schematic diagram.

Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics, Chapter 8.6, Problem 119RP

Write the expression for the kinetic energy of the system (T).

  T=12m(lθ˙)2        (I)

Here, the mass of the pendulum is m, the length of the pendulum is l.

Write the expression for the potential energy of the system (V).

  V=mgl(1cosθ)+12k(δ+bsinθ)2+12k(δbsinθ)2        (II)

Here, the acceleration due to gravity is g, the spring stiffness is k and the initial spring compression is δ.

Write the expression for the total energy of the system (E).

  E=T+V        (III)

Write the expression for the natural frequency of the system (fn).

  fn=ωn2π        (IV)

Here, the natural circular frequency is ωn.

Conclusion:

Substitute, Equation (I) and Equation (II) in Equation (III).

  E=12m(lθ˙)2mgl(1cosθ)+12k(δ+bsinθ)2+12k(δbsinθ)2        (V)

Differentiate Equation (V) and equate to 0.

  dEdt=0ddt[12m(lθ˙)2mgl(1cosθ)+12k(δ+bsinθ)2+12k(δbsinθ)2]=0ml2θ¨mglsinθ+k(δ+bsinθ)(bcosθ)+k(δbsinθ)(bcosθ)=0        (VI)

Rewrite Equation (VI) for small values of θ.

  ml2θ¨mglθ+k(δ+bθ)(b)+k(δbθ)(b)=0ml2θ¨mglθ+kb(δ+bθ+bθδ)=0ml2θ¨mglθ+2kb2θ=0θ¨mglml2θ+2kb2ml2θ=0θ¨+[2kb2ml2gl]θ=0        (VII)

Obtain the value of ωn from Equation (VII) as:

  ωn2=2kb2ml2glωn=2kb2ml2gl

Substitute, 2kb2ml2gl for ωn in Equation (IV) .

  fn=12π2kb2ml2gl        (VIII)

Thus, the natural frequency of the inverted pendulum is 12π2kb2ml2gl.

From Equation (VIII), we get;

  2kb2ml2gl>0

  2kb2ml2>glk>mgl2b2        (IX)

Thus, the restriction imposed on the system is k>mgl2b2.

A program to make the part depicted in Figure 26.A has been created, presented in figure 26.B, but some information still needs to be filled in. Compute the tool locations, depths, and other missing information to present a completed program. (Hint: You may have to look up geometry for the center drill and standard 0.5000 in twist drill to know the required depth to drill).
We consider a laminar flow induced by an impulsively started infinite flat plate. The y-axis is normal to the plate. The x- and z-axes form a plane parallel to the plate. The plate is defined by y = 0. For time t <0, the plate and the flow are at rest. For t≥0, the velocity of the plate is parallel to the 2-coordinate; its value is constant and equal to uw. At infinity, the flow is at rest. The flow induced by the motion of the plate is independent of z. (a) From the continuity equation, show that v=0 everywhere in the flow and the resulting momentum equation is მu Ət Note that this equation has the form of a diffusion equation (the same form as the heat equation). (b) We introduce the new variables T, Y and U such that T=kt, Y=k/2y, U = u where k is an arbitrary constant. In the new system of variables, the solution is U(Y,T). The solution U(Y,T) is expressed by a function of Y and T and the solution u(y, t) is expressed by a function of y and t. Show that the functions are identical.…
