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

<span>The correct option is D. Soil can best be described as the loose covering of weathered rocks and decaying organic matter. There are different types of soil, the type of soil formed depends majorly on the type of parent rock from which the soil is formed and the amount of organic matter present in the soil.</span>
Hello,
It's D! hope I helped.
I’m pretty sure it is caused by the heat of the sun warming it up back into its original state of tar
