Question
A 150 g mass is undergoing simple harmonic motion along the x-axis on an ideal spring with
k=100 N/m. At t=0, the mass is at x=-10cm and is moving with velocity v=-15m/sec.
a) What is the total energy of the system?
b) What is the position of the mass as a function of time, x(t)?
c) What is the acceleration of the mass at t=3.5sec?
A system with the same mass and spring constant as question above has a damping constant
y=0.9. Assume the mass was pulled to the right 30 cm at t=0 and released.
d) Estimate the time at which the amplitude has decayed to 4 of its initial value.
e) Assume the system is connected to a forcing function given by (in Newtons)
F(t)=2coswt
Estimate the value of the amplitude at resonance.
