Notes:
1. Neat and legible assignment will be given extra points.
2. Draw the free-body diagrams (for mechanical systems) where ever necessary to get
full points.
3. Draw the equivalent circuit diagrams (for electrical systems) where ever necessary
to get full marks.

“When people cheat in any arena, they diminish themselves-they threaten their
own self-esteem and their relationships with others by undermining the trust
they have in their ability to succeed and in their ability to be true.”

Q1: A vehicle towing a trailer through a spring-damper coupling hitch is given in Fig.1.
The following parameters and variables are defined: M is the mass of the trailer; Kh the
spring constant of the hitch; Bh the viscous-damping coefficient of the hitch; Bt the
viscous-friction coefficient of the trailer; y1(t) the displacement of the towing vehicle;
y2(t) the displacement of the trailer; and f(t) the force of the towing vehicle.
i) Write the differential equation of the system.
ii) Find the transfer function, Y1(s)/F(s)
