Homework Statement
A body is suspended vertically from an ideal spring of spring constant 3.5 N/m. The spring is initially in its relaxed position. The body is then released and oscillates about its equilibrium position. The motion is described by the following equation.
y = (4.5 cm) sin...
1. A mass M is attached to a fixed spring of constant K and oscillating with an amplitude A, the spring is hung from the ceiling in a gravitational field with constant free-fall acceleration g.
2. What is the oscillation frequency? Is it affected by gravity?
Mx''=-Kx-mg => ??
3. I figured it...
A 0.70 kg mass on a spring oscilates horizontally with a little friction acording to the
x= 0.0500 cos (2.10 t) where x is in meter and t is in seconds. Find the maximum energy stored in the spring during an oscilation. Find the maximum velocity of the mass.
V_max = w*A= (0.05)*(2.10)=...
Hi All,
Suppose you have a spring with a given elastic constant k. Its natural width is L = 1 meter and its mass is M = 0.1 kg. Now imagine you put this spring to oscilate, with its ends fixed, forming a pure second harmonic oscilation, plane polarized, with frequency Omega. The amplitude of...
Oscilation differential equation
Hello, I have a question about oscilations. In physics lecture, we derived a way of relating circular motion to a spring via a projection. And this made good sense, and could be applied to a horizontal spring as well, if we then shifted that circle track so that...
