Two identical spring-mass systems A and B are coupled by a weak middle spring having a spring constant smaller by a factor of 100 (i.e. 100kmiddle = kA = kB). Mass A is pulled by a small distance and released from rest, while mass B is released from rest at its equilibrium position, at t = 0. Calculate the approximate number of oscillations completed by mass A before its oscillations die down first.
A uniform plank of mass 2.29kg and length 39.6 cm is pivoted at one end, and the opposite end is attached to a spring of force constant 454N/m. The height of the pivot has been adjusted so that the plank will be in equilibrium when it is horizontally oriented as in the figure. Find the period of small oscillation about the equilibrium point. Answer in units of s.
8. A spring of 21 cm length reaches 30.8 cm after hanging a mass of 1/4 kilogram on it. The medium through which the mass moves provides a damping force equal to three times the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion if the mass is released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 m/s. Calculate the time at which the mass reaches its extreme displacement, and what is the position of the mass at that moment? (Use g = 9.8 m/s²) Sol.
