Basic Terminology in Mechanics

The area of science and mathematics concerned the motion of the objects, the relation between the force matter, and motion if specified. Forces exerted over the objects result in displacements or changes in the position of an object concerning its environment. This branch of physics keeps its roots in Ancient Greece in the form of the scripts of Aristotle and Archimedes.

1. In lecture I focused on a horizontal mass-spring system so we could ignore gravity, but in practice it's much easier to build a vertical mass-spring system. In the figure below, we can see a suspended spring with spring constant k both before and after a mass m is hooked to it. Y Yo yo is the equilibrium height of the spring (without the mass) and in the figure y = 0 is set at the ground. a) Using the coordinate system in the figure, show that Newton's second law for the hanging mass-spring system leads to the following differential equation: d²y dt² k (y - Yo) - g m b) Now define a new coordinate, y', related to y by a constant shift: y = y' + C, where C = constant. Show that if you choose the right value of C, Newton's second law is identical in form to a mass-spring system without gravity. What is the period of the system? c) Effectively, gravity just shifts the equilibrium position of the system, but the system still undergoes simple harmonic motion. What is the net force on the…
