A sketch of a valve and rocker arm system for an internal combustion engine is give in Figure P1.65. Model the system as a pendulum attached to a spring and a mass and assume the oil provides viscous damping in the range of ?=0.01. Determine the equations of motion and calculate an expression for the natural frequency and the damped natural frequency. Here J is the rotational inertia of the rocker arm about its pivot point, k is the stiffness of the valve spring and m is the mass of the valve and stem. Ignore the mass of the spring.
