actual mass. Fig.1-1 Schematic Diagram : Spring-Mass-Pulley system

In this derivation, the following variables are defined and used, according to Fig.1-1:

k : Spring stiffness

Ms : Mass of the Spring

M : Mass of the Body

Ms : Mass of the Pulley, which includes Mass of the spring

g : Gravity Acceleration

T : Tensile Force in the Rope

1.1 The natural frequency of free vibration of the assembled system :

Equilibrium at the body:

(1)

Equilibrium at the Pulley:

(2)

Meanwhile, the body moves twice as fast as the pulley, which means:

(3)

Substituting (3) into (1) :

(4)

Substituting (4) into (2) :

(5)

At this stage, the natural frequency of this system is assumed as follows:

: Angular Velocity of the Vibration

Then the motion of the pulley is described as follows:

(6)

General solution becomes,

(7)

When mass of the pulley is included in mass of the spring, or when mass of the pulley is

neglected, (8) 1.2 When a body is simply suspended from a spring:

Eq (2) becomes,

(9)

And eq (3) becomes,

The report emphasizes on how Toyota implemented the Toyota Production System (TPS), a major section of the Lean Manufacturing methods into production, to emerge as the leader in automotive manufacturing. The interesting part of this theory is that Toyota perceived this idea, not from any other automotive production process, but from a mere American supermarket! At the Ford unit, the Toyota delegates observed that automation of work enabled consistent mass production of components with high quality and substantially reduced the use of skilled labor. But the large amount of inventory stack up at all stages was unappealing. Also the ...

Power in this case comes from Dr. Smith’s position. As the president of the college, he is the leader of the entire organization and thus his power emanates from this fact. It is safe to assume that position power is given to a person, who shows leadership skills, integrity and has the right qualifications for the job. In my opinion, power is not appropriately shared in the organization. Dr. Smith has been given too many powers as compared to his fellow faculty members. For example, Dr. James Admit is the admissions director and does not have the power ...
