Question: ( 5 Points ) The bar with length L and mass m slides through the double collar C with no friction. The springs at C

(5 Points) The bar with length L and mass m slides through the double collar C with no friction. The springs at C and A have stiffnesses kC and kA. The angle is a constant 60 degrees. When =30 degrees and x=0.6m, both springs are unstretched. Find the EOM for the bar, working in the I frame with the two DOF being x and and defined as positive displacements shown in the picture. Suggestions: Define the stretch of the length of the spring at C as L2 and the length from A to C as L1 and leave them as a function of x and in your EOM. Also look at lesson 16 and set up the solution as 33 matrix with the two state accelerations and x and the normal force at A (This will save a lot of algebra.)
