Answer:

a) x(t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

b) x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350)

c) t = ( 0.7957*k - 0.160875 )s  with k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ....

Explanation:

Declaring variables:-

- The mass = m

- Positive damping constant = β

- Spring constant = k

- Gravitational constant, g = 32.2 ft/s^2

Given:-

- The attached initial weight, Wi = 10 lbs

- The attached second weight, Wf = 8 lbs

- Length of un-extended spring, Li = 5 ft

- The extended length, Lf = 7 ft

Find:-

(a) Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from a point foot below the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 1 ft/s.

(b) Express the equation of motion in the form given in (23)

(c) Find the times at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position heading dow

Solution:-

- We will first evaluate the constants m , k and β using conditions given:

                         m = Wf / g

                         m = 8 / 32 = 0.25 slugs.

- We will use the equilibrium condition in (vertical direction) on the spring when the weight of Wi = 10 lbs was attached onto the spring. The spring restoring force (Fs) acts up while weight attached combats it by pointing downward.

                         Fs - Wi = 0

- From Hooke's Law we have:

                         Fs = Wi = k*ΔL   .......  ΔL : Extension of spring

                         k = W / ΔL = W / ( Lf - Li )

                         k = 10 / ( 7 - 5 )

                         k = 5 lb/ft

- Since we have insufficient information about the damping constant of the medium we will assume it as unit. β = 1.

- Now, we will consider the dynamic motion of the spring attached with mass with weight Wf damped in a medium with constant β. We will use Newton's second equation of motion for the spring.

                        F_net = m*a

Where, F_net : Net force acting on the attached mass

            a : Acceleration of the block

- There are two forces acting on the spring ( Damping force - D and restoring force of spring (ks) ). We will consider a displacement of mass in vertical direction as (x).

                       - D - Fs = m*a

- Using hooke's law and damping force (D) is proportional to velocity of attached mass. We have:

                       - β*dx/dt - k*x = m*( d^2 x / dt^2)

 - Plug in the constants:

                          \frac{d^2x}{dt^2} + 4*\frac{dx}{dt} + 20*x = 0

- Now solve the derived ODE. The Auxiliary equation for the above ODE is:  

                         s^2 + 4s + 20 = 0              

- Solve the quadratic and evaluate roots.

                        s = -2 +/- 4i ....... (Complex Roots)

- The complementary solution (yc) for complex roots of the auxiliary is:

                        xc (t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ A*cos ( 4t ) + B*sin ( 4t ) ]

- Use the given initial conditions and evaluate constants A and B :

                       x ( 0 ) = 1 ft , x ' (0) = 1 ft/s

                       xc (0) = e^(^0^)[ A*cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ] = 1* [ A + 0 ] = 1\\\\A = 1\\\\xc'(t) = -2*e^(^-^2^t^)[ A*cos ( 4t ) + B*sin ( 4t ) ] + e^(^-^2^t^)[ -4A*sin ( 4t ) + 4B*cos ( 4t ) ]\\\\xc'(0) = -2*e^(^0^)[ cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ] + e^(^0^)[ -4sin ( 0 ) + 4B*cos ( 0 ) ]\\\\ 1 = -2*[ 1 + 0 ] + 1*[ 0 + 4B]\\\\B = 3 / 4 = 0.75

- The complementary solution becomes:

                         xc (t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

- Since there is no excitation force acting on the system( Homogenous ). The particular solution does not exist and the general solution to equation of motion is:

                         x(t) = e^(^-^2^t^)[ cos ( 4t ) + 0.75*sin ( 4t ) ]

- An alternative form of the displacement (x) - Time (t) motion is:

                        x(t) = Pe^(^-^a^t^)sin(w_dt + theta)

Where,

                        P = √ ( A^2 + B^2)   .... Amplitude

                        theta (θ) = arctan ( B / A )

                        Auxiliary roots = ( a +/- bi) ..... a = -2 , b = 4  

                        wd = w*√ 1 - ρ^2 = w = b = 4 .......... (β = 1 => ρ = 0)

- Evaluate P and theta (θ):

                        P = √ ( 1^2 + 0.75^2) = 1.25 m

                        theta (θ) = arctan ( 3 / 4 ) = 0.64350 rads

- The alternative form of Equation (23) is:

                        x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350)

c)

- To determine the range of times (t) when the mass passes the the equilibrium position can be evaluated by setting x(t) form (23) equal to 0.

                       x(t) = 1.25*e^(^-^a^t^)sin(4t + 0.64350) = 0\\\\e^(^-^a^t^) \neq 0 , sin(4t + 0.64350) = 0\\\\4t + 0.64350 = 0 , \pi , 2\pi , 3\pi = k\pi\ \ .......\ \ (k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ...)\\\\t = \frac{k\pi - 0.64350}{4} = k*0.78571429 - 0.160875

- The domain for time (t) is as follows:

                       t = ( 0.7957*k - 0.160875 )s  with k = 0, 1 , 2 , 3 , ....

A 0.8 g object is placed in a 534 N/C uniform electric field. Upon being released from rest, it moves 12 m in 1.2 s. Determine t
Mice21 [21]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 0.8 g = 0.0008 kg

Electric field, E = 534 N/C

Distance, s = 12 m

Time, t = 1.2 s

We need to find the acceleration of the object. It can be solved as :

m a = q E.......(1)

m = mass of electron

a = acceleration

q = charge on electron

"a" can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

a=\dfrac{2s}{t^2}

a=\dfrac{2\times 12\ m}{(1.2\ s)^2}

a = 16.67 m/s²

Now put the value of a in equation (1) as :

q=\dfrac{ma}{E}

q=\dfrac{0.0008\ kg\times 16.67\ m/s^2}{534\ N/C}

q = 0.0000249 C

or

q=2.49\times 10^{-5}\ C

Hence, this is the required solution.

Albert presses a book against a wall with his hand. As Albert gets tired, he exerts less force, but the book remains in the same
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

maximum static frictional force of the wall on the book (Increasing)

normal force of the wall on the book (Decreasing)

weight of the book (Not changing)

Explanation:

Now according to Newton's third law of motion

"Every action has equal but opposite reaction"

By the data given in question, Albert was pressing the book against the wall.Now, Albert started to reduce his force up against the wall.

First we have to consider all the forces applied on book in this scenario.

1. Weight of book acting downwards (y-axis)

2. Friction between book and wall acting upward (y-axis)

3. Albert's force on book against wall (x-axis)

4. Normal reaction of wall against Albert's force (x-axis)

Now, when Albert reduced his force, new scenario will be

1. Weight will be remain constant as it is W = mg

Neither mass nor acceleration due to gravity changed, so weight acting upon the book will remain same.

2. When Albert reduced force, normal reaction of wall reduced against it according to Newton's third law of motion

3. Now notice that friction is a force which acts in accordance with the applied force. For example if a box is placed at floor, no friction is applied, but when you drag the box, friction starts to act and increases until its limit comes. So, when Albert reduced his force, weight will try to pull the book and maximum static friction will increase to hinder the movement of book downwards.

Notice that maximum static friction will hinder the book from movement, since Albert reduced his force, but wight didn't pull the book, which means that maximum static friction increased to hinder downward motion.
