A small bead of mass m is free to slide along a long, thin, frictionless rod, which spins in a horizontal plane abut one end at a frequency of f (i.e., f revolutions per second). Show that the displacement of the bead from the center of rotation as a function of time t is given by r(t) = A exp(ct) + B exp(–Ct). Find the expression for the constant C. Also, how would you determine A and B?

I need to rescale (4) from the first page to the equation on the second page. 2.[60pts.] A bead of mass m is constrained to slide along a straight rigid horizontal wire. A spring with natural length Lo and spring constant k is attached to the bead and to a support point a distance h from the wire. See Figure 1.

1. Two boxes are stacked on a frictionless table. M. = 4kg and M, 5kg. The coefficient of friction between the boxes is such that when a 27 N force F is applied to the lower box, the boxes start to slip relative to each other. The system is then restored to rest and force F is removed. A horizontal force F is now applied to the upper box. What is this force's maximum value in order for the two...
A small block of mass m slides along the frictionless loop the loop track shown below. If it starts from rest at point A, what is the speed of the block at point B?
