Consider a ball in a fixed 'U-bracket' shown below. The ball's motion is constrained by the spring (spring constant k ), and the friction force (reflected by the 'translational' damping constant c ) at the point of contact with the top surface, as indicated. The bottom contact O is a no-slip point, ie., the ball rotates about O. The ball's characteristics are: moment of inertia about O is J; radius r. Assume all motions are small. a. What is the number of degrees of freedom? b. Write its equation of motion in time domain.
