Question: A satellite antenna positioning system uses a dc motor driven by a rack - and - pinion mechanism with a return spring as illustrated in

A satellite antenna positioning system uses a dc motor driven by a rack-and-pinion mechanism with a return spring as illustrated in Figure 1. The rack and pinion converts radial motion to linear motion and torque to force according to the following equations:
x=r
F=Tr
where, x is the linear displacement, is the motor angular position, the angular speed, T is the shaft torque and F is the driving force applied to the rack.
The dc motor and antenna parameters are.
M=0.45Kg: total mass,
K=200Nm : spring constant,
Jm=210-5Kg*m2 : total inertia of the motor and pinion,
Bm=210-3 N.s/m: viscous damping coefficient
r=2cm : pinion radius.
Kt=0.1NmA
Kb=0.1Vrads
R=2
L=50mH
Write the equations of motion of the motor and antenna mechanism. The wind force Fw is
considered as a disturbace.
