To find: the times when the weight is at the point of equilibrium
Answer to Problem 89E
The times when the body will be in equilibrium is given by,
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A weight is oscillating on the end of a spring. The displacement from equilibrium of the weight relatives to the point of equilibrium is given by
Where
Calculation:
Let us consider the following figure
Let us consider that,
Here
Let us find the equilibrium posting by equating
Hence
Since, the period of
Hence, the times when the body will be in equilibrium is given by,
Here,
