Figure P4.49 shows a winch supported by a cantilever beam

Chapter , Problem 4.49

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure P4.49 shows a winch supported by a cantilever beam at the stern of a ship. The mass of the winch is \(m_{w}\), the mass of the beam plus winch bracket and motor is \(m_{b}\). The object hoisted by the winch has a mass \(m_{h}\); the wire rope mass \(m_{r}\) is assumed to be negligible compared to the other masses. Find the equation of motion for the vertical motion \(x_{1}\) of the winch:

(a) assuming that the rope does not stretch and

(b) assuming that the rope stretches and has a spring constant \(k_{r}\).
