2. An 8 lb object stretches a spring 1/2 ft by itself when there is no damper attached. Then, a damper is attached to it that will exert a force of 12 lbs when the velocity is 2 ft/s. Is this system over- damped, under-damped, or critically damped? (6 points) a) b) Find the displacement at any time t, u(t).

A mass weighing 4 pounds is attached to a spring whase constant is 2 b/ft. The medium offers a damping force that is numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity. The mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilbrium position with a downward velocity of 10 ft/s. Determine the time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position. (Use g 32 ft/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.) Find the time after the mass passes through...

THE EXPERIMENT The speed "." of a ball as it leaves the spring gun will be measured by projecting the ball horizontally (0-0) from a table top at a distance H above the floor. The gun is then elevated at a known angle 8. The position of the target is calculated using the measured value of v. calculated time of flight, and the equations of motion. A successful prediction with the projectile hitting the target means that the following concepts...
1. Suppose that a car weighing 4000 pounds is supported by four shock absorbers Each shock absorber has a spring constant of 6500 lbs/foot, so the effective spring constant for the system of 4 shock absorbers is 26000 lbs/foot.1. Assume no damping and determine the period of oscillation of the vertical motion of the car. Hint: g= 32 ft/sec22. After 10 seconds the car body is 1 foot above its equilibrium position and at the high point in its cycle....
Introduction Many doors in public places are fitted with simple and inexpensive mechanisms that are designed to close the doors while reducing the slamming force to a minimum. Figure 1 Figure 1 depicts one such mechanism while Figure 2 provides a schematic description. The spring is mounted in order to push the door back to close once it is opened. The role of the hydraulic dashpot is to provide a viscous force that will prevent the door from slamming against...
Objective To determine the force generated by a jet of water striking on a surface Description of apparatus The supply is led to a vertical pipe terminating in a tapered nozzle. This produces a jet of water which impinges on the vane in the form of a Flat Plate, Hemispherical Cup, Conical Plate or 30° Angled Plate. The nozzle and vane are contained within a transparent cylinder; at the base of the cylinder there is an outlet by which the...
