A wind tunnel installation used to control motion of an aerofoil is described in Figure 1 below. The system consists of an actuator A, lever L, cable C, pulley P, tensioning spring S and aerofoil M. Assumptions: A is modelled as a linear spring; L is rigid, has nonzero mass and pivots about point O; C is axially elastic and massless, P has nonzero mass and rotates about point A; M is modelled as a point mass rigidly connected to P using a massless arm; S is a linear spring. The system is in equilibrium as shown, friction is neglected and any initial pre-tension in the system is ignored. Define your own reasonably chosen parameters as necessary. Assume small angles where necessary. Note: The arm connecting mass M to pulley P is assumed to be rigid and massless. lever L DOF 1 . ww actuator A cable C Massless cable C is assumed to be axially elastic.

Results section: choose physically meaningful parameter values and a range of the cable C stiffness values, shown them and then plot the variation of the natural frequencies with the cable C stiffness. • Discussion section: In a short paragraph, qualitatively and quantitatively describe the mode shapes of the system for your chosen value of the cable C stiffness. • Discussion section: In a short paragraph, describe the trends observed in the natural frequency versus cable C stiffness plot.
