Applied force Definition and 127 Threads

Consider a spring in its natural length. I start pulling the string and the force i apply increase from 0 to 5, while this happens theres a restoring force wanting to be back in its original position(intermolecular force) and i am able to stretch the string until this spring force or restoring...

Hello! I wanted to make sure I am doing this right. In general for a driven damped harmonic oscillator: $$\ddot{x}+\gamma\dot{x}+\omega_0^2x=\frac{F}{m}\sin{\omega_dt}$$ where ##\gamma## is the damping, ##\omega_0## is the resonant frequency, ##m## is the mass of the particle, ##F## is the...

If F is applied at an angle above the horizontal, it decreases the normal force and vice versa. So in case A, net force along X = F applied cos theta - friction since the object is moving with constant velocity, a = 0 and so the above equation becomes F applied cos theta = friction Now along...

The following passage is from Halliday Resnick Krane in Chapter 3 which is about dynamics in one dimension. "We can measure frictional forces. By placing the body on a horizontal surface where it experiences a frictional force, we could attach a spring and pull the body with just the right...
