Question: Consider the pendulum mechanism with a pinned support at point ( O ) . The bars has length ( L )

Consider the pendulum mechanism with a pinned support at point \( O \). The bars has length \( L \) and \( m \). A damper is attached at point \( C \) and the spring is attached at G.\( G \) is the center of mass of the beam. A force \( F(t)=F_{o}\sin \Omega t \) is applied at point \( C \).
a) Derive the differential equation of motion (EOM) for the system.
b) What is the damped and undamped natural frequency of the system?
c) Derive an expression for the steady state amplitude of the system.
