Try <strong>to</strong> balance abroom stick by moving your h<strong>and</strong> horizontally.Model your h<strong>and</strong> contact with the broom as ahinge. You can model the broom as a uniformstick or as a point mass at the end of a stick —your choice.a) Equation of motion. Given the accelerationof your h<strong>and</strong> (horizontal only),the current tip, <strong>and</strong> the rate of tip of thebroom, find the angular acceleration ofthe broom. ∗gb) Control? Can you find a h<strong>and</strong> accelerationin terms of the tip <strong>and</strong> the tiprate that will make the broom balanceupright? ∗yφAproblem 10.66:mLê θCêrx(Filename:pfigure.s94h10p5)10.67 Balancing the broom again: verticalshaking works <strong>to</strong>o. You can balance a broomby holding it at the bot<strong>to</strong>m <strong>and</strong> applying appropriate<strong>to</strong>rques, as in problem 7.99 or by movingyour h<strong>and</strong> back <strong>and</strong> forth in an appropriatemanner, as in problem 10.66. In this problem,you will <strong>to</strong> try <strong>to</strong> balance the broom differently.The lesson <strong>to</strong> be learned here is more subtle,<strong>and</strong> you should probably just wonder at it ratherthan try <strong>to</strong> underst<strong>and</strong> it in detail.In the previous balancing schemes, youused knowledge of the state of the broom (θ<strong>and</strong> ˙θ) <strong>to</strong> determine what corrective action <strong>to</strong>apply. Now balance the broom by moving itin a way that ignores what the broom is doing.In the language of robotics, what youhave been doing before is ‘closed-loop feedback’control. The new strategy, which is simultaneouslymore simple minded <strong>and</strong> moresubtle, is an ‘open loop’ control. Imagine thatyour h<strong>and</strong> connection <strong>to</strong> the broom is a hinge.a) Picture <strong>and</strong> model. Assume your h<strong>and</strong>oscillates sinusoidally up <strong>and</strong> downwith some frequency <strong>and</strong> some amplitude.The broom is instantaneously atsome angle from vertical. Draw a picturewhich defines all the variables youwill use. Use any mass distribution thatyou like.b) FBD. Draw a FBD of the broom.c) Momentum balance. Write the equationof angular momentum balanceabout the point instantaneously coincidingwith the hinge.d) Kinematics. Use any geometry <strong>and</strong>kinematics that you need <strong>to</strong> evaluatethe terms in the angular momentum balanceequation in terms of the tip angle<strong>and</strong> its time derivatives <strong>and</strong> other knownquantities (take the vertical motion ofyour h<strong>and</strong> as ‘given’). [Hint: There aremany approaches <strong>to</strong> this problem.]e) Equation of motion. Using the angularmomentum balance equation, writea governing differential equation for thetip angle. ∗f) Simulation. Taking the h<strong>and</strong> motionas given, simulate on the computer thesystem you have found.g) Stability? Can you find an amplitude<strong>and</strong> frequency of shaking so that thebroom stays upright if started from anear upright position? You probablycannot find linear equations <strong>to</strong> solvethat will give you a control strategy.So, this problem might best be solvedby guessing on the computer. Successfulstrategies require the h<strong>and</strong> acceleration<strong>to</strong> be quite a bit bigger than g,the gravitational constant. The stabilityobtained is like the stability of anundamped uninverted pendulum — oscillationspersist. You improve the stabilitya little by including a little frictionin the hinge.h) Dinner table experiment for nerdyeaters. If you put a table knife on atable <strong>and</strong> put your finger down on thetip of the blade, you can see that thisexperiment might work. Rapidly shakeyour h<strong>and</strong> back <strong>and</strong> forth, keeping theknife from sliding out from your fingerbut with the knife sliding rapidly on thetable. Note that the knife aligns withthe direction of shaking (use scratchresistantsurface). The knife is differentfrom the broom in some importantways: there is no gravity trying <strong>to</strong> ‘unalign’it <strong>and</strong> there is friction betweenthe knife <strong>and</strong> table that is much moresignificant than the broom interactionwith the air. Nonetheless, the experimentshould convince you of the plausibilityof the balancing mechanism.Because of the large accelerations required,you cannot do this experimentwith a broom.
