Spring 2003 1661AC22 Longitudinal Dynamics For notational simplicity, let X=Fn, Y= Fu, and Z= F aF Longitudinal equations(1-15 )can be rewritten as mi=X+X2- mg cos(0+△X
Spring 2003 Derivation of lagrangian equations Basic Concept: Virtual Work Consider system of N particles located at(, x2, x,,.x3N )with 3 forces per particle(f. f, f..fn). each in the positive direction
Spring 2003 Example Given: Catapult rotating at a constant rate(frictionless, in the horizontal plane) Find the eom of the particle as it leaves the tube
