Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the mathematical steps taken to transition from the first line of an equation to the second line. Participants express confusion about the sequence of operations following the factoring of an angle. There is a suggestion that both sides of the equation may have been multiplied by a specific term involving mass and inertia. Additionally, the need to establish a common denominator and collect terms by their respective powers of 's' is highlighted. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clear mathematical manipulation to achieve the desired result.

Homework Statement


Does anyone know what was done to go from the first line to the second?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know what sequence of steps they did after the angle was factored.
I think both sides were then multiplied by \frac{mls^2}{(M+m)(I+ml^2)} or something?

From the original equation get a common denominator, mls2. for all terms. collect terms in s4,s3,s2 and s.
write Φ/U divide the numerator and denominator by the coefficient of the s4 term which is q. DA DA.
