For 2.8, calculate the amount of power that is lost due to the pressure drop through the pipe assembly. Assuming that all of this power goes into heating the hydraulic fluid, estimate the temperature rise in the hydraulic fluid.

By linearizing the system equations in 3.1, reduce the number of equations from 3 to 2 by combining the pendulum equation and the actuator equation. What is the effective mass and the effective spring rate for the actuator?
