(20 pts) Consider the system shown in Fig. 2 below. The disk of mass m has radius r and
rolls on a (frictionless) inclined plane. Coordinate xx=0 g is acting in the downward vertical direction. Note: the moment of inertia of the
disk J=(1)/(2)mr^(2).
For simplicity, assume that the "ground reference" for the gravitational potential energy of
the mass is at the height of the dashed line, i.e., the gravitational potential energy of the
mass is zero at this vertical location.
(a)(12 pts) Determine an expression for the Lagrangian L=KE-PE.
(b)(5 pts) Use the Euler-Lagrange equation
(d)/(dt)((delL)/(delq_(i)^()))-(delL)/(delq_(i))+(delD)/(delq_(i)^())=0
where q_(i) represents the i^() th generalized coordinate to determine the differential equations
describing the system dynamics.
(c)(3 pts) Express the equations obtained in (b) in state-space form.
