Load with a mass if 0.2kg will stretch a spring 0.1m.Spring is stretched an additional 5cm & released.Find the spring constant,period of vibration n f,max acceleration,velocity through equilibrium positions & motion equation?
1 Answer
Well, since the load is hanging:
The spring constant is found for a spring at equilibrium.
Spring constant
Now that you have the spring constant
Frequency
Well, good, we have
Conveniently enough,
The three equations
Next, the equations for oscillatory motion are:
This means the angular acceleration acts to restore equilibrium.
The max acceleration occurs at the full amplitudes since the spring is most stretched then. i.e.
The max velocity occurs at the equilibrium positions since it's the middle between the two "motion boundaries" at each of which the velocity is
And finally the motion equation is:
Now the only thing you really need is the amplitude. That is just the amount it was pulled, so
