A mass of 0.75 kilograms is attached to a spring/mass oscillator. A force of 5 newtons is required to stretch the spring 0.5 met

ers. The mass is in a medium that exerts a damping force numerically equivalent to b multiplied by the instantaneous velocity. Write an inequality (using exact values) that describes the values of 'b' for which the system will be overdamped.

Answer:

b > 66.41 kg/s

Explanation:

The spring force F = -kx, where k = spring constant, the damping force f = -bv. The net force F' = F + f

F + f = ma

-kx - bv = ma

-kx -bdx/dt = md²x/dt².

Re-arranging the equation, we have

So, md²x/dt² + bdx/dt + kx = 0

Dividing through by m, we have

d²x/dt² + (b/m)dx/dt + (k/m)x = 0

This is a second-order differential equation. The characteristic equation is thus,

D² + (b/m)D + (k/m) = 0

Using the quadratic formula, we find D.

D = \frac{-(b/m) +/- \sqrt{(b/m)^{2} - 4k/m} }{2}

For an overdamped system,

(b/m)^{2} - 4k/m} >   0

(b/m)^{2} >   4k/m}\\(b/m) >   \sqrt{4k/m}} \\(b/m) >   2\sqrt{k/m}} \\b >   2\sqrt{km}}

Now, k = F/x. Since the weight of the object causes the spring to stretch a distance of 0.5 m, k = mg/x where m = mass of object = 0.75 kg, g = 9.8 m/s² and x = x₀ =0.5 m.

Substituting k = mg/x into the inequality for b, we have

b > 2√{(mg/x₀)m}

b > 2√{(m²g/x₀)}

b > 2m√{g/x₀)}

b > 2 × 0.75 kg√{9.8 m/s²/0.5 m)}

b > 1.5 kg√{19.6/s²)}

b > 1.5 kg × 4.427/s

b > 66.41 kg/s

Inga [223]

According to the description given in the photo, the attached figure represents the problem graphically for the Atwood machine.

To solve this problem we must apply the concept related to the conservation of energy theorem.

PART A ) For energy conservation the initial kinetic and potential energy will be the same as the final kinetic and potential energy, so

E_i = E_f

0 = \frac{1}{2} (m_1+m_2)v_f^2-m_2gh+m_1gh

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

PART B) Replacing the values given as,

h= 1.7m\\m_1 = 3.5kg\\m_2 = 4.3kg \\g = 9.8m/s^2 \\

v_f = \sqrt{2gh(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})}

v_f = \sqrt{2(9.8)(1.7)(\frac{4.3-3.5}{3.5+4.3})}

v_f = 1.8486m/s

Therefore the speed of the masses would be 1.8486m/s
