Figure 2 shows a lifting apparatus comprising two pulleys connected by a flexible rope. A force f(t) applied to a handle of length L that is rigidly attached to Pulley 1 raises (and if the direction of the force is reversed lowers) the suspended mass m. The displacement of mis measured by the variable y(t). The two pulleys are constrained to rotate about their centers on bearings. Pulley 1(including the handle) has an inertia / about its center of rotation. Its radius is r and its bearing exhibits viscous damping b. Similarly, Pulley 2 has an inertia /, a radius ry, and its bearing exhibits viscous damping b. The section of rope between Pulley 1 and Pulley 2 has stiffness K, and that between Pulley 2 and the mass m has stiffness K., The rope has zero mass. Determine the transfer function Y(s)/F(s).
