Question: [ 3 0 % ] Given the single degree - of - freedom consisted of two identical beams connected by rigid massless link and supported

[30%] Given the single degree-of-freedom consisted of two identical beams connected by rigid massless link and supported by springs and hinge as depicted in Figure 1. The mass moment of inertia of each beam with respect to its center of gravity equals to
JG=m(2(L))212
Figure 1 The beams are identical, connected by rigid massless link. Triangles represent hinge support fixed to the ground.
Please answer the following questions:
a.[10%] Draw the free body diagram of the system.
b.[10%] Derive the differential equation of motion of the system for small angular displacement.
c.10% Determine the natural frequency expression of the system as a function of k,m, and L.
Useful formulas:
mx+cx+kx=0
n=2fn=km2,d=n1-22
=ccc,cc=2km2
=21-22=1Nln(xkxk+N)
x(t)=Ae-{ntsin(dt+)
x(t)=C1e(--1-22)nt+c2e(-+1-22)nt
x(t)=(C3+C4t)e-nt
