Question

A 100 N force deflects a spring by 0.05 m. A.)What is the value of the spring constant? B.) What is the natural frequency, f, of vibration of a 50 kg mass attached to this spring and allowed to vibrate?

Write the equation of motion, x(t), for the spring/mass system in Problem #1, if the maximum deflection of the vibrating mass is 4 cm, and the position of the mass at t=0 sec is x = -2 cm.

In the previous problem, calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the mass at t = 0 sec.

In the previous problem, calculate the position of the mass at t = 0.3 sec.

You happen to be riding your bicycle at the rate of 10 m/s in the same direction as the police car. What frequency will you hear while you are ahead of the police car? What will be the CHANGE in frequency as it passes you and continues on ahead?

You want to build your own fife out of a piece of bamboo. With all the fingers holes closed, you want to produce a note with frequency 220 Hz (this is A below middle C on a piano). Assuming that the air temperature is 20 C, how long should you make the fife?

Calculate the resultant amplitude at the position x = 0.25 m at t = 0.8 sec of two waves simultaneously traveling along the length of the string. The equations of motion of the waves are y1(x,t) = 4 [mm] sin (2x – 0.5t) and y2 (x,t) = -6 [mm] cos (2x + 0.5t).

Explanation / Answer

Solving 1st question

Spring constant=F/x=2000 N/m

Natural frequency=sqrt(K/m)/2pi=1.006 Hz

Equation of motion

x=4sin(6.32t+b)

at t=0,x=-2 so b=-30 degree

x=4sin(6.32t-30)

velocity=dx/dt=25.28cos(6.32t-30)

at t=0,v=21.9 m/s
