So this is a system describing a vibration. The circle is a disk with radius R and mass M .There is a spring attached to its center located at the top. And there is another spring and a mass attached to its sides located at the bottom,
α: constant of dissipation (damping coefficient)
Sorry I had to draw it
The objective is to find the differential equation describing it but all I really need is to understand a few things
The ax of rotation of the disk is NOT fixed in place, so it drops down in addition to spinning mid air. It is NOT an ideal pulley
Also since our professor already had given us most of the answers, the only thing I remember is that this is certainly one degree of freedom
I want to know the vertical displacement of the disk (in terms of R and theta) as well as that of the mass “m”, and the deformation of both springs, I also want to know how to think from now on to find these kind of things because it’s confusing me
