Correct question is;

A 4-foot spring measures 8 feet long after a mass weighing 8 pounds is attached to it. The medium through which the mass moves offers a damping force numerically equal to √2 times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 7 ft/s. (Use g = 32 ft/s²)

Answer:

x(t) = 7te^(-2t√2)

Explanation:

We are given;

Weight; W = 8 lbs

mass; m = W/g

g = 32 ft/s²

Thus;

m = 8/32

m = ¼ slugs

From Newton's second law we can write the equation as;

m(d²x/dt²) = -kx - β(dx/dt)

Rearranging this, we have;

(d²x/dt²) + (β/m)(dx/dt) + (k/m)x = 0

Where;

β is damping constant = √2

k is spring constant = W/s

Where s = 8ft - 4ft = 4ft

k = 8/4

k = 2

Thus,we now have;

(d²x/dt²) + (√2/(¼))(dx/dt) + (2/(¼))x = 0

>> (d²x/dt²) + (4√2)dx/dt + 8x = 0

The auxiliary equation of this is;

m² + (4√2)m + 8 = 0

Using quadratic formula, we have;

m1 = m2 = -2√2

The general solution will be gotten from;

x_t = c1•e^(mt) + c2•t•e^(mt)

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

x_t = c1•e^(mt) + c2•t•e^(mt)

At initial condition of t = 0, x_t = 0 and thus; c1 = 0

Also at initial condition of t = 0, x'(0) = 7 and thus;

Since c1 = 0, then c2 = 7

Thus,equation of motion is;

x(t) = 7te^(-2t√2)

LenKa [72]

Answer:

54%

Explanation:

So, we have that the "magnitude of its displacement from equilibrium is greater than (0.66)A—''. Thus, the first step to take in answering this question is to write out the equation showing the displacement in simple harmonic motion which is = A cos w×t.

Therefore, we will have two instances t the displacement that is to say at a point 2π/w - a2 and the second point at a = a2.

Let us say that 2π/w = A, then, we have that a = A cos ^-1 (0.66)/2π. Also, we have that a2 = A/2 - A cos^- (0.66) / 2π.

The next thing to do is to calculate or determine the total length of of the required time. Thus, the total length is given as:

2a1 + ( A - 2a2) = 2A{ cos^-1 (0.66)}/ π.

Therefore, the total percentage of the period does the mass lie in these regions = 100 × {2a1 + ( A - 2a2) }/A = 2 { cos^-1 (0.66)}/ π × 100 = 54%.

Thus, the total percentage of the period does the mass lie in these regions = 54%.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Option B

Change in entropy of the process is \Delta S= Rln(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})

Explanation:

The entropy of a system is a measure of the degree of disorderliness of the system.

The entropy of a system moving from process 1 to 2 is given as

\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{\delta q}{T}}

recall from first law, \delta q =du +Pdv

hence we have, \Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{du +Pdv}{T}}

since the process is isothermal, du= 0

this gives us \Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{Pdv}{T}}

integrating within the limits of 1 and 2, will give us

\Delta S = R ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})

also from ideal gas laws,

\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}

hence we have    \Delta S = R ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})

This makes the correct option B
