Question: Problem 4 ( 1 0 pts ) The uniform bar A B of mass M and length l has a small massless roller at each

Problem 4(10 pts)
The uniform bar AB of mass M and length l has a small massless roller at each end and moves on a circular track as shown in figure 4. Using as a generalized coordinate derive the equation of motion in the absence of friction. The length of OG is R. Using this equation of motion answer the following two questions concerning small motions about =0.
a. Find the frequency of small oscillations about =0.
b. Assume that this device is submerged in oil which exerts a significant drag force (parallel to AB ) given by -bvec(v)G, where b is a proportionality coefficient and vec(v)G is the velocity of point G. Find the values of b for which the bar will overshoot =0 if released from rest from 0.
