This document contains three problems regarding deriving equations of motion. Problem 1 asks to derive the equations of motion for a pretensioned wire structure in both the x and y directions. Problem 2 asks to derive the equation of motion for torsional vibration of the same structure. Problem 3 asks to derive the equation of motion for an automobile modeled as a mass-spring-damper system traveling over a rough road.

Fig. P1.17. Each diagonal wire is pretensioned to a high stress; its cross-sectional area is A
and elastic modulus is E. Neglecting the mass of the columns and wires, derive the equation of
motion governing free vibration in (a) the x-direction, and (b) the y-direction. (Hint: Because
of high pretension, all wires contribute to the structural stiffness, unlike Example 1.2, where
the braces in compression do not provide stiffness.)

1.18 Derive the equation of motion governing the torsional vibration of the system of Fig. P1.17
about the vertical axis passing through the center of the platform.
1.19 An automobile is crudely idealized as a lumped mass m supported on a spring–damper sys-
tem as shown in Fig. P1.19. The automobile travels at constant speed v over a road whose
roughness is known as a function of position along the road. Derive the equation of motion.
