A mass weighing 3 lb stretches a spring 3 in. If the mass is pushed upward, contracting the spring a distance of 1 in and then s

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{3}{32}\\ \gamma =0\text{ damping constant.}\\ k=\frac{3}{\frac{1}{4}}=12\\ F(t)=0\\ \text{so equation of motion is }\\ mu''+\gamma u'+ku=F(t)\\ \frac{3u''}{32}+12u=0\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{and initial conditions are}\\ u(0)=-\frac{1}{12}\\ u'(0)=2\\ u''+128u=0\\ \text{characterstic equation is}\\ r^2+128=0\\ \text{roots are }\\ r=\pm 8\sqrt{2}i\\ \text{therefore general solution is}\\ u(t)=A\cos8\sqrt{2}t+Bsin8\sqrt{2}t\\ \text{using initial conditions we get}\\ A=-\frac{1}{12}\\ B=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\\ \text{therefore solution is }\\ u(t)=-\frac{1}{12}\cos8\sqrt{2}t+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{8}\sin8\sqrt{2}t\\
{hence}\\R=\sqrt{\frac{11}{288}}\\\\\sigma=\pi - \tan^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\\omega_0=8\sqrt{2}\\T=\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2}}$

The rule is that: You are adding 5 each time

5(100) + 4 = 504

Your answer should be 504

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Mean: 11.5 Median: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For the mean find the average by adding all of the numbers up and dividing by the number of numbers in the set.

For the median arrange the numbers in order of least to greatest then find the middle number if there is two add them together and divide by two.
