If the slender rod has a weight of 5 lb, determine the natural
frequency of vibration. The springs are originally
unstretched.
SOLUTION
the compression of the spring at its ends can be approximated as and
.Thus, the elastic potential energy when the rod is at this position is
.The datum is set at the
rod’s mass center when the rod is at its original position. When the rod undergoes a
small angular displacement ,its mass center is abovethe datum
hence its gravitational potential energy is .Since is small,
can be approximated by the first two terms of the power series,that is,
.Thus,
The mass moment inertia of the rod about point Ois
.The kinetic energy is
The total energy of the system is
[1]
Time Derivative:Taking the time derivative of Eq.[1], we have
Since , then
[2]
From Eq.[2], , thus,.Applying Eq.22–14, we have
