Problem 4: [2, 0155] Determine the deection of each spring from its unstretched length when the system shown is in equilibrium. Assume that in the absence of gravity the springs are unstretched in the equilibrium position. You must draw a separate free-body diagram on both the disk and the block.

Problem 5: Consider the two harmonic signals x1 (t) = (70 cm) sin((6 rad/s) t), x2 (t) = (30 cm) cos((6 rad/s) t).

Find the amplitude and phase shift of the combination x(t) = x1 (t) + x2 (t), and plot the result in MATLAB for 0 s t 10 s. Problem 6: [1, 0228] For a vibratory system with a mass m = 10 kg, k = 1500 N/m, and c = 2500 N/(m/s), and given that the displacement response has the form x(t) = (0.2 m) sin((9 rad/s) t), plot the graphs of m x, the spring force k x, and the damper force c x versus time. Finally, combine these and plot the quantity m x + c x + k x. Use MATLAB.
