Answer: (a) t1 = omega1/alpha
(b) theta1 = 1/2 * alpha*theta1^2
(c) t2 = omega2/5*alpha
Explanation: see attachment
Answer:
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
Explanation:
Force of spring = - kx
k= spring constant
x= distance traveled by compressing
But force = mass × acceleration
==> Force = m × d²x/dt²
===> md²x/dt² = -kx
==> md²x/dt² + kx=0 ------------------------(1)
Now Again, by Hook's law
Force = -kx
==> 960=-k × 400
==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m
ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m
Put given data in eq (1)
We get
60d²x/dt² + 240x=0
==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0
General solution for this differential eq is;
x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t ------------------------(2)
Now initially
position of mass spring
at time = 0 sec
x (0) = 0 m
initial velocity v= = dx/dt= 6m/s
from (2) we have;
dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)
put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;
-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6
==> 2B = -6
B= -3
Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get
x(t) = - 6 cos 2t
==>
Answer:
c. natural force or pull toward the earth
Explanation:
Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.
An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.
The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:
where:
m= mass of the body
g= acceleration due to gravity
The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:
where:
where
R = radius of the earth
