Problem 20.2.1 from the collection of Kepe O.?. is formulated as follows: an expression is given for the potential energy of the mechanical system P = 15?2, where y is in rad. It is required to determine the generalized force corresponding to the generalized coordinate ? at the moment of time when the angle ? = 90°.
To solve the problem, it is necessary to calculate the derivative of potential energy with respect to the generalized coordinate ? and substitute the value ? = 90°. Thus, the generalized force will be defined as F = -dП/d?, where d/d? denotes differentiation with respect to the generalized coordinate ?.
Let's calculate the derivative of potential energy with respect to the generalized coordinate ?:
dП/d? = d/d? (15?2) = 30?
Substituting the value? = 90°:
F = -dП/d? = -30° × (π/180°) = -0.5236 rad/s × 15 = -7.8548 Nm
The answer is rounded to one decimal place:
F = -7.9 Nm
So, the generalized force corresponding to the generalized coordinate ? at the moment in time when the angle ? = 90°, equal to -7.9 Nm.
