A spring is hung vertically from a fixed support. When an object of mass m is attached to the end of the spring, it stretches by a distance y. When an object of mass of 2m is hung from the spring, it stretches by a distance 2y. A second, identical spring is then attached to the free end of the first spring. If the object of mass 2m is attached to the bottom of the second spring, how far will...
Show that the natural period of vertical oscillation of a mass hung on a Hookean spring is the same as the period of a simple pendulum whose length is equal to the elongation the mass causes when hung on the spring.
A mass m = 1.1 kg hangs at the end of a vertical spring whose top end is fixed to the ceiling. The spring has spring constant k = 75 N/m and negligible mass. At time t = 0 the mass is released from rest at a distance d = 0.35 m below its equilibrium height and undergoes simple harmonic motion with its position given as a function of time by y(t) = A cos(wt - φ). The positive y-axis...
a-slug mass is hung onto a spring, whereupon the spring is stretched 6 in from its natural length. The mass is n started in motion from the equilibrium position with an initial velocity of 4 ft/sec in the upward direction. Find the subsequent motion of the mass, if the force due to air resistance is -2t lb.
A massless spring with k = 118 N/m is hung from a support and a 1.48 kg mass is attached to the bottom of the spring. The position of the mass when it is in equilibrium is y = 0. If the mass is displaced below this point, we take its displacement to be positive. At t = 0, the mass has the initial conditions y(0) = 0.2 m and [dy/dt]t=0 = −1.3 m/s. Its position at later times is y(t)...
A spring is hanging from the ceiling. When a 2 kg mass is hung from the spring, the spring has a total length of 50 cm. When a 5 kg mass is hung from the spring, the spring has a total length of 70 cm. Determine the spring's relaxed length and its spring's spring constant. (You should keep 4 decimals in your values to avoid rounding errors.)
A 2kg mass is suspended vertically from a spring attached to a fixed support. The spring satisfies Hooke's law with a spring constant of k 18 N m1. No damping is present. Gravity acts on the mass with a gravitational constant of g 10 m s2. An external force of R 24 sin (wt) Newton is applied to the mass, directed downwards, where t is the time in seconds since the mass was set in motion and w is a...
A spring of spring constant k=12.5N/m is hung vertically. A .500kg mass is then suspended from the spring. What is the displacement of the end of the spring due to the weight of the .500kg mass?
A spring is suspended vertically from a fixed support. The spring has spring constant k=24 N m −1 k=24 N m−1 . An object of mass m= 1 4 kg m=14 kg is attached to the bottom of the spring. The subject is subject to damping with damping constant β N m −1 s β N m−1 s . Let y(t) y(t) be the displacement in metres at the end of the spring below its equilibrium position, at time t...
A block of mass m is attached by means of a spring of constant to a wedge of mass and height that forms an angle with the horizontal, as shown in the figure. Mass can slide on the horizontal surface. Note: don't consider friction. a) Calculate the frequencies of small oscillations of the system around equilibrium. b) Find and schematically draw the relative configurations of the normal modes corresponding to each frequency of the system. We were unable to transcribe...
