Angular impulse principles apply to determine the required angular velocity. Considering door inertia and torsional dynamics setup: apply the energy equivalence principle - kinetic energy from kick equals energy to rotate door through 70° against spring force. Calculate needed initial angular velocity ω, balancing rotational kinetic energy (0.5*I*ω²) and potential energy stored (0.5*k*θ²), where θ is the radian equivalent of 70°. Solving these yields the needed velocity .

The natural frequency of a pivoted uniform circular disc is determined by considering its moment of inertia about the pivot, the stiffness of any supporting springs, and geometry like the disc radius. When pivoted at a point, its oscillatory motion can be simplified to a simple pendulum model or rigid body dynamics depending on constraints. The equivalent spring constant for rotational systems and the distance from pivot to center of mass plays crucial roles .

Amplitude decrease in damped oscillating systems follows exponential decay characterized by the damping ratio related to damping coefficient c. With amplitude reduced to 30% after five cycles, logarithmic decrement (δ) is used: δ = ln(A1/A2)/n = 0.5 ln(1/0.3). Solve for damping ratio ζ using δ = 2πζ/sqrt(1-ζ²), continuing to find c from ζ = c/(2*sqrt(k*m)), inputs of k = 3.6×10³ N/m, m = 4.5 kg provide numeric values as needed .

The system response is modeled by translating rotational motion into torsional stress and deformation. Given G=0.8×10¹¹ N/m², apply τ=G*θ/L, incorporating setup inertia and initial rotation (θ0=0). Use system dynamics and angular deflection Gröschner to connect stresses imparted to shaft material's modulus, yielding complete stress profile for adopts solution conditions with differential equations solving its natural frequency and damping .

To derive the equation of motion for the uniform rigid bar, apply the principles of rotational dynamics: sum of torques τ = I*α, considering the moments about the hinge and contributions from the spring and damper. With spring force at end providing torque τ_spring = -k*x*l, and damping force torque τ_damping = -c*v*l, where x and v are linear displacement and velocity, respectively. Integrating these into Newton’s equations and resulting ODE models the system’s behavior. Additionally, the equivalent mass moment of inertia must incorporate the bar’s mass and its geometry .

The critical damping coefficient Cc for a torsional system is calculated using Cc = 2*sqrt(J*k), where J is the moment of inertia (7.2 kg.m²), and k is the torsional stiffness (25 N.m/rad). Substituting the given values, Cc = 2*sqrt(7.2 * 25) N·s/rad, resulting in a concrete value determined by exact arithmetic from these specific parameters .

Graphical response analysis through plotting time-displacement graphs of angular position illustrates damped harmonic motion outcomes. Plot a sinusoidal or exponential decay signature over time showcasing decay rate; critically damped may appear returning steadily to position zero without oscillations, under-damped will oscillate to zero, and overdamped slowly reaches zero without crossing. This aids in visually estimating effects of varying damping elements in system .

The natural frequency of vibration for the system can be calculated using the formula for a mass-spring system where the gravitational forces and the geometric positioning are considered. The natural frequency ω_n in radians per second is obtained by ω_n = sqrt(k/m), where k is the equivalent spring constant and m is the mass of the cart. However, since only weight is given and other parameters such as spring constant need to be detailed from the pulley or system setup, additional specifics on the system mechanics are needed to reach an explicit numeric value .

The FBD for the bar considers external applied forces, weight distribution, spring and damping forces at designated lengths. Forces include gravitational torque, spring (k*x) induced, damping (c*v) at points specified at 1/3 and 2/3 of bar length where mass and damper act. Expressing this visually with force arrows perpendicular to the bar, and reaction forces at hinge, guides building of differential equations of motion for rotation, embodying the mechanical setup constraints .

To find the maximum displacement, the kinetic energy of the moving car is transformed into potential energy in the spring and dissipative energy through the damper. Initial kinetic energy is 0.5*m*v^2 = 100,000 J. The work done by the damper is non-recoverable but must be considered in total energy conservation equations to determine max displacement. Using the energy balance and the spring-damper system equations, max displacement is determined; typically involves solving a logarithmic decrement formula considering damping ratio ζ = C/Cc, where Cc is critical damping .
