Question

A 1.2 kg collar C may slide without friction along a horizontal rod. It is attached to three springs, each of constant k=400N/m and 150-mm undeformed length. Knowing that the collar is released from rest in the position shown, determine the maximum velocity it will reach in the ensuing motion

Explanation / Answer

Y=Yo + Vot+ 1/2at^2 Y is maximum height Yo is initial vertical placement Vo is velocity a is always equal to g which is in this case -9.8m/s^2 t is time needed to reach point
