The rod is released at an angle of $\frac{\pi}{4}$ from +the vertical, the mass centre is $10\text{m}$ above the ground and all +velocities are initially zero. The gravitational constant is taken as unity. + +The ground is modeled as an ideal compliance in the vertical +direction with compliance of $0.1 \text{mN}^{-1}$ and it is assumed +that contact takes place at the rod tips only. There is no +horizontal resistance to motion. This idealised setup is modeled by a +two {\bf CSW} components, one for each rod tip, modulated by the +height of each rod tip above the ground: each {\bf CSW} is off when +the corresponding height is positive. + + + +
