The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator has the Lagrangian
L = mx˙2 − kx2/2. Suppose you did not know the solution of the motion, but realized that the motion must be periodic and therefore could be described by a Fourier series of the form
x(t) =∑j=0 aj cos jωt,
(taking t = 0 at a turning point) where ω is the (unknown) angular frequency of the motion. This representation for x(t) defines many_parameter path for the system point in configuration space. Consider the action integral I for two points t1 and t2 separated by the period
T = 2π/ω. Show that with this form for the system path, I is an extremum for nonvanishing x only if aj = 0, for j ≠ 1, and only if ω2 = k/m.

The spring constant is k = 10,600 N/m. Assume that damping is minimal, the wheel of the unicycle has no mass and is not a spring, the unicyle always stays perfectly upright, and the person is represented by a rigid mass M = kg. a) When the unicycle is being ridden at speed V = 10 km/hr over the sinusoidal bumpy terrain shown above, with bump spacing L=0.6 m and bump height H 0.05 m, what will be the steady-state peak-to-peak amplitude of the motion y(t) [m] of the person riding the unicycle? b) Recalculate the steady-state peak-to-peak amplitude of the motion for 2.5, 5, and 20 km/hr. Will the rider have difficulty reaching speeds above 5 km/hr?arrow_forward
- diagram, F, is the input force exerted on the cart by the voltage applied to the motor, m, is the mass of the cart. The encoder is used to keep track of the position of the cart on the track. Cart Encoder Mater March 7, 2023 Track X Figure 5: Free body diagram of the cart (ignoring friction) Using Figure 5 and basic Newtonian dynamics you can derive the equations governing the system. 3.3 Motor Dynamics The input to your system is actually a voltage to the cart's motor. Thus, you need to derive the dynamics of the system that converts the input voltage to the foren exertal on the cart. These are the dynamics of the motor. Figure 6 shows a diagram of the electrical components of the motor. Figure 6: Clasic armature circuit of a standard DC motor For this derivation of the motor dynamics we assume the following: • We disregard the motor inductance: IR, so we can use the approximation 0. • Perfect efficiency of the motor and gearbox: -- 1.
