Instructions for candidates:

1. There are six questions in all, out of which you have to attempt any four questions
2. All questions carry equal marks
3. Use of Scientific non- programmable calculator is allowed.

1.
A translational mechanical system is shown below.

The system is composed of two masses M1and M2, two dampers b1 and b2 and a spring K .The
restoring force for the spring is proportional to its displacement i.e.
𝑓

The damping effects can be modelled by the linear equation

𝑓 ( )
Application of force F(t) to the mass results in a displacement . The equation of motion for the
system is obtained by applying Newton's second law of translational motion.

Draw the Mechanical

lent circuit of the system considering F(t) as an input
in force and write
state equations for the system. Using Mechanical Equivalent circuit draw F-vv analogous electrical
network for the system .

2. Speed controls find wide application throughout

th industry and the home. O Output frequency

tolerance.

desired speed are sensed, and
