Question: 4 . 5 3 In Figure P 4 . 5 3 a motor supplies a torque T to turn a drum of radius R and

4.53 In Figure P4.53 a motor supplies a torque T to turn a drum of radius R and
inertia I about its axis of rotation. The rotating drum lifts a mass m by means
of a cable that wraps around the drum. The drum's speed is . Viscous
torsional damping cT exists in the drum shaft. Neglect the mass of the cable.
(a) Obtain the equation of motion with the torque T as the input and the vertical
speed v of the mass as the output. (b) Suppose that m=50kg,R=0.3m,
I=1.1kg*m2, and cT=0.2N*m*s. Find the speed v(t) if the system is initially
at rest and the torque T is a step function of magnitude 500N*m.

While possible to use equivalent mass and equivalent torque, an easier way may be to
draw two FBDs even though there is 1 DOF. If you do use the equivalent mass and
equivalent force, be careful with the directions (i.e., signs) and don't forget the power
done by the weight ( mg ) due to gravity.
Use a Laplace transform approach to solve part b.
Use a transfer function approach with the Matlab step command to plot the result.
Compare the steady state response of the system using the final value theorem and also
with the numerical Matlab step command.
