Short Answer

Recompute the coupled mass–spring oscillator motion in Problem 1, Exercises 5.6 (page 287), using Laplace transforms.

x(t)=817cost917cos203ty(t)=617cost+617cos203t

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1:Given Information

The differential equation of a coupled mass spring oscillator is

{x''+4x4y=0,x(0)=1,x'(0)=03y''6x+11y=0y(0)=0,y'(0)=0

Step 2: Determining the coupled mass–spring oscillator motion

The mechanism in Exercises 5.6 Problem 1 is

{x''+4x4y=0,x(0)=1,x'(0)=03y''6x+11y=0y(0)=0,y'(0)=0

Using the Laplace transform, we can obtain

{L{x"+4x-4y}=0L{3y"-6x+11y}=0

{s2X(s)sx(0)x'(0)+4X(s)4Y(s)=03[s2Y(s)sy(0)y'(0)]6X(s)+11Y(s)=0

{s2X(s)+s+4X(s)4Y(s)=03s2Y(s)6X(s)+11Y(s)=0

{(s2+4)X(s)4Y(s)=s(3s2+11)Y(s)6X(s)=0

{X(s)=4s2+1Y(s)ss2+1(3s2+11)Y(s)6X(s)=0

We now have

(3s2+11)Y(s)6(4s2+1Y(s)ss2+1)=0(3s2+11)Y(s)24s2+1Y(s)+6ss2+1=0(3s2+1124s2+1)Y(s)=6ss2+1(3s2+11)(s2+1)24s2+1Y(s)=6ss2+1(3s4+23s2+20)Y(s)=6sY(s)=6s3s4+23s2+20

We can get partial fractions by using partial fractions.

Y(s)=6s17(s2+1)+6s17(s2+203)

As a result, if we use the inverse Laplace, we get

y(t)=617cost+617cos203t

We now have X(s):

(3s2+11)(6s)3s4+23s2+206X(s)=0X(s)=s(3s2+11)(s2+1)(s2+203)

We can get partial fractions by using partial fractions.

X(s)=8s17(s2+1)9s17(s2+203)

As a result, if we use the inverse Laplace, we get

x(t)=817cost917cos203t

Step 3: Determining the Result

The solution is obtained as:

x(t)=817cost917cos203t

y(t)=617cost+617cos203t
