(a) Write down the equations of motion corresponding to
Chapter 11, Problem 11.11(choose chapter or problem)
(a) Write down the equations of motion corresponding to (11.2) for the equal-mass carts of Section 11.2 with three identical springs, but with each cart subject to a linear resistive force by (same coefficient b for both carts) and with a driving force F (t) = Fo cos cot applied to cart 1. (b) Show that if you change variables to the normal coordinates 1 = 1(x1 + x2) and 2 = z (x1 x2), the equations of motion for ci and b2 are uncoupled. (c) Using the methods of Section 5.5, write down the general solutions. (d) Assuming that /3 = b/2m << coo, show that i resonates when co ti coo = Oclm and likewise b2 when co tiNijcoo. (e) Prove, on the other hand, that if both carts are driven in phase with the same force Fo cos cot, only i shows a resonance. Explain. Figure 11.16 11.12
