Question: Show me the steps to solve A simplified schematic diagram of a quarter - car system is shown in Figure 1 , where x 1

Show me the steps to solve A simplified schematic diagram of a quarter-car system is shown in Figure 1, where x1(t) is the
road profile (input to the system), and x2(t) and x3(t) are the vertical positions of the unsprung
mass mu and sprung mass ms, respectively. Let v2(t):=x2(t) and v3(t):=x3(t) denote the
vertical velocities of the unsprung mass and sprung mass, respectively. Let Fks,Fkt and Fbs be
the forces in the spring ks, spring kt and damper bs, respectively. The equations of motion are
given by:
Fks-ks(x3-x2)=0
Fkt-kt(x2-x1)=0
Fbs-bs(x3-x2)=0
msx3+Fbs+Fks=0
mux2-Fbs-Fks+Fkt=0
Find a state space representation with the following sets of state variables:
(a)q1(t)=x2(t),q2(t)=x2(t),q3(t)=x3(t),q4(t)=x3(t),u(t)=x1(t), and y(t)=x3(t).
(b)q1(t)=Fks(t),q2(t)=v3(t),q3(t)=Fkt(t),q4(t)=v2(t),u(t)=x1(t), and y(t)=x3(t).
