Parameters
m[1] = 500 ! kg
m[2] = 50 ! kg
k[1] = 7500 ! spring constant
k[2] = 150000 ! spring constant
f = 2250 ! N
z = 0 ! vertical displacement
End Parameters
Variables
y[1] = -0.05 ! position
y[2] = 0
z[1] = 0 ! velocity
z[2] = 0
End Variables
Equations
$y[1] = z[1]
$y[2] = z[2]
m[1] * $z[1] = -f * (z[1]-z[2]) - k[1] * (y[1]-y[2])
m[2] * $z[2] = -f * (z[2]-z[1]) - k[1] * (y[2]-y[1]) - k[2] * (y[2]-z)
End Equations
