Assignment 1 - 2021
This assignment is due 5:00 pm Friday 17th Sep, 2021.
Please submit it online.
Late submission incurs a 5 marks penalty per day (including the weekend).

1. (a) Derive the equations of motion of the system shown below using Lagrange’s equations. The disks are
rolling without slip. (b) Please do the same using Newton’s method. (c) Determine the equations of motion if the
second spring is replaced by a rigid bar.
