Question: Problem No . 1 ( 4 0 points ) Consider the system shown in Figure 1 . Using any analytical dynamics method covered in class

Problem No.1(40 points)
Consider the system shown in Figure 1. Using any analytical dynamics method covered in class (i.e. Lagrange's equation, Newton, etc. but just one method) and determine the equations of motion (put the final equations of motion in matrix form). The fixed T -bar assembly rotates about the vertical axis and has a moment of inertia J. The bar connecting the two collars has length L and a mass of 4m. The two collars with mass m can move along the T-bar assembly (one in the vertical direction and the other in the horizontal direction). The T-bar assembly is acted on by a nonstationary torsional load M(t) resulting in a rotation given by .
