Homework # 1
Due: Friday, 06/11/2020 23:59

1) Consider the systems for which the equations are given below where 𝑢 is the input, 𝑦 is the
output, and 𝑡 is time. Are these systems linear or nonlinear, static or dynamic, time varying or
time invariant? Explain your answers (2pts)

a) 𝑦̈ + 𝑦̇ + 𝑦 = 𝑢̇ + 𝑢 f) 𝑦̈ + 𝑦 2 + sin(𝑡) = 𝑢
b) 𝑦̈ + 2 sin(𝑡) 𝑦̇ = 𝑢 g) 𝑦̈ + 2𝑦 = 𝑢
c) 𝑦̈ + 2 sin(𝑡) 𝑦̇ + 𝑦 = 𝑢 h) 𝑦̈ = 𝑡𝑢
d) 𝑦 − sin⁡(𝑦) = 𝑢 i) 𝑦 + 2𝑦 = 𝑢
e) 𝑦̈ + 2 = 𝑢 j) 𝑦 = 2𝑡

2) Write down the equations of motion for the given system (4pts)

3) The schematic for an energy harvesting floor is given below. This system simply harvests
electricity from the motion of the dancing people on it. The linear motion for the tile with mass m
is transferred to the electrical circuit by a gear. Write down the equations for this system (4pts)
