Worksheet Ch 15 Review

***PLEASE ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS POSSIBLE!!! PLEASE PROVIDE DETAILED SOLUTIONS AND EXPLANATIONS FOR EACH QUESTION!!!!!!

4. An object weighing 44.1 N hangs from a vertical massless ideal spring. When set in vertical motion, the object obeys the equation y(t) = (6.20 cm) cos[(2.74 rad/s)t - 1.40].

(e) What is the spring constant of the spring.

5. A lightly damped harmonic oscillator, with a damping force proportional to its speed, is oscillating with an amplitude of 0.500 cm at time t = 0. When t = 8.20 s, the amplitude has died down to 0.400 cm. At what value of t will the oscillations have an amplitude of 0.250 cm?

Explanation / Answer

4.

y(t) = (6.20 cm) cos[(2.74 rad/s)t - 1.40]

A = 6.2 cm

Now we know that:

w = sqrt (k/m)

k = m*w^2

F = mg

m = F/g, So

k = F*w^2/g

k = 44.1*2.74^2/9.81 = 33.75 N/m
