A block of mass M slides on a thin film of oil. The film thickness is h and the area of the block is A. When released, mass m exerts tension on the cord, causing the block to accelerate. Neglect friction in the pulley and air resistance. Develop an algebraic expression for the viscous force that acts on the block when it moves at speed V. Derive a differential equation for the block speed as a function of time. Obtain an expression for the block speed as a function of time. The mass M = 5 kg, m = 1 kg, A = 25 cm2, and h = 0.5 mm. If it takes 1 s for the speed to reach 1 m/s, find the oil viscosity μ. Plot the curve for V(t).

The frequency of fluctuations of the wing at mach 2 is given by the non-homogenous 2nd order differential equation: y'' + 3y' - 10y = 100x With the boundary conditions: y(0) = 1 and y(1) = 0 (i.e., y = 1 when x = 0 and y = 0 when x = 1) By solving the homogenous form of this equation, complete the analysis and determine the amplitude (y) of vibration of the wing tip at mach 2.

Choose an Applied Force at the beginning, and keep it constant for this entire experiment. Set the friction to zero. This will make your Applied Force equal to the net force. Record data for five different values of Mass. Graph Acceleration vs. Mass. Graph this in Google sheets(you want a line graph - it should only have one line). Make sure that Mass information is used as the x value Make sure that Acceleration information is used as the y value Add a trendline – see what fits best – linear, exponential, polynomial, etc … Add a copy of you graph below the table Applied Force (N) Mass (kg) Acceleration (m/s²)arrow_forward
