Question

An engine with a mass of 500 kg is dropped onto the end of a weightless cantilever bridge with a velocity of 0.6 m/s, as shown in Figure 1. The impact causes vibrations of the combined engine/cantilever bridge system, with the engine stuck onto the bridge. The bridge is made of steel with a modulus of elasticity of 200 x 109 N/m2, length 3 m, and moment of inertia 2 x 10–6 m4.

1.1. Draw the free body diagram of the cantilever bridge shown in Figure 1. 


1.2. Neglect inertia of the bridge and calculate the response of the combined 
engine/cantilever beam.

1.3. Calculate the displacement of the engine attached to the bridge 2 seconds after 
impact.
