x (t) =sin (2 πt) + k

This document contains two MATLAB questions and solutions. The first question generates a function that is the sum of three sine waves with different frequencies. The solution uses a for loop to calculate the sum of the sine waves at instances from 0 to 1 in increments of 0.01. The second question involves a 10 kg slider on an inclined plane attached to a spring. The solution plots the velocity of the slider as it passes point C versus the initial spring stretch between -0.4 and 0.8 m. The velocity approaches infinity when the spring stretch exceeds 0.65 m, as the force balance equation no longer has a real solution.

MATLAB

Question 1
Use Matlab to generate the function:
3
1 1 1
x ( t )=sin ( 2 πt ) + sin ( 6 πt ) + sin ( 10 πt )=∑ sin ( 2 πkt ) , for 0 ≤ t ≤1
3 5 k=1 k

At instances t=0 :0.01 : 1

Solution

t = 0:0.01:1; N = length(t); xt = zeros(1,N);


for n = 1:N
temp = 0;
for k = 1:3
temp = temp + (1/k)*sin(2*pi*k*t(n));
end
xt(n) = temp;
end
Mechanical MATLAB
The 10-kg slider A moves with negligible friction up the inclined guide. The attached spring
has a stiffness of 60 N/m and is stretched δ m at position A, where the slider is released from
rest. The 250-N force is constant and the pulley offers negligible resistance to the motion of
the cord. Plot the velocity of the slider as it passes C as a function of the initial spring stretch
δ. Let δ vary between -0.4 and 0.8 m and explain the results when δ exceeds a value of about
0.65 m.
