Discussion Problems
Simple Harmonic Motion The model
Consider a free undamped spring/mass system for which the spring constant is, say, k = 10 lb/ft. Determine those masses mn that can be attached to the spring so that when each mass is released at the equilibrium position at t = 0 with a nonzero velocity v0, it will then pass through the equilibrium position at t = 1 second. How many times will each mass mn pass through the equilibrium position in the time interval 0 < t < 1?
