Consider a lightweight horizontal rod on which three masses are fastened, one each at both ends and one at the midpoint. Assume that the end masses move vertically in such a way that the angle of the rod with the horizontal remains small. Show that this system has a bond graph similar to the bond graph shown in Figure 7.12b for interconnected self-inductances.
