Audren's final review session available
The first one deals with linearization and stability. Equation of motion was derived using the Lagragian method.
The second problem is about two masses connected with springs and the goal is to get the natural frequencies of the system as well as its normal modes.
Finally the last problem is a review of the direct approach. It shows how to build a strategy to solve for the equation of motions without calculating too many internal forces.
Jason and Audren will be available tomorrow afternoon between 2-4pm on Sunday, May 15th in Rm. 3-270 to answer last minute questions.
