A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches one spring 3 inches and another spring 4 inches. The springs are attached to a common rigid support and then to a metal plate. As shown in the figure, the mass is attached to the center of the plate in the double-spring arrangement. 20 lb Determine the effective spring constant of this system.

Explanation / Answer

The problem can be solved as follows -

Force equation for the 1st spring -

f=kx

k1=f/x

or, k1=20/(3/12) lb/ft

or, k1 = 80 lb/ft.

Like-wise -

k2= 20 / (4/12) lb/ft. = 60 lb/ft.

so, K=4k1k2/(k1+k2)

=> k = (4*80*60) / (80+60) = 137 lb/ft

[Please check the answer of your first part]

Now, find out the equation of motion -

m*d2x/dt2= -kx

or, 20/32* d2x/dt2= -137x

or, d2x/dt2 + 219x=0

therefore, w2= 219

=> w = 14.8

Now -

x(t)= c1coswt + c2sinwt

differentiating and using v(0)= 8 ft/s and x(0)=0

c1=0, c2 = 8/14.8 = 0.54

Hence the requisite equation -

x(t)= (0.54)sin(14.8t).
