Problem 1. Laplace Transforms
(20 points) The diagram shows an inverted pendulum on a cart that is driven by an external
force F. Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at the ball (the rod with
length l is massless). Let m denote the mass of the pendulum and M denote the mass of the
cart. Let x denote the position of the cart in an inertial reference frame. Let denote the
angle between the rod and the vertical line (as shown in the diagram). Using F as the input
of the system, the linearized equations of motion are the following:
x=mgM+FM
=M+mMlg+FMl
Derive the transfer function H(s)=x(s)F(s), where x(s) and F(s) are the Laplace domain
representations of the position of the cart x(t) and the external force F(t), respectively.
Note: You do not need to derive the equations of motion or the (above) linearized equations
of motion. You only need to derive the transfer function based on the (above) linearized
equations of motion.
