A Lever Mechanism
Consider the system shown in Figure 5.77, in which a lever arm has a force applied on one side and a spring-damper combination on the other side with a suspended mass. When \theta=0 and f=0, the system is at static equilibrium. Assume that the lever arm can be approximated as a uniform slender rod. Draw the free-body diagram of the lever arm and the suspended mass. Derive the differential equations of motion for small angles \theta.
