A light platform is suspended from the ceiling by a spring. A student with a mass of 90 kg climbs onto the platform. When it sto

ps bouncing and reaches its new equilibrium position (x=0), the student notices that the spring has stretched 0.82 m. The student's friend pulls the platform down 0.32 m further and then releases it at t=0. What is the amplitude of the motion of the student on the platform?

Refer to the diagram shown.

When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N

By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m

When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.

If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
m \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} = -kx \\ \frac{d^{2}x}{dt^{2}} + \frac{k}{m} x = 0

Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)

x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0

The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32

The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.

Answer: 
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)

a 3.2 kg durian fruit is pushed across the table.If the acceleration of the durian is 3.1 m/s/s to the right,what is the net for
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

<h2>9.92 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 3.2 × 3.1

We have the final answer as

<h3>9.92 N</h3>
