Q10 E
A – kg mass is attached to a spring with stiffness 8 N/m. The damping constant for the system is N-sec/m. If the mass is moved 1 m to the left of equilibrium and released,what is the maximum displacement to the right that it will attain?
Q11 E
A mass weighing 8 lb is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling and comes to rest at its equilibrium position. At t = 0, an external force F(t) = 2 cos 2t lb is applied to the system. If the spring constant is 10 lb/ft and the damping constant is 1 lb-sec/ft, find the equation of motion of the mass. What is the resonance frequency for the system?
Q12 E
A 2 kg mass is attached to a spring hanging from the ceiling, thereby causing the spring to stretch 20 cm upon coming to rest at equilibrium. At time t = 0, the mass is displaced 5 cm below the equilibrium position and released. At this same instant, an external force F(t) = 0.3 cos t N is applied to the systems. If the damping constant for the system is 5 N-sec/m, determine the equation of the motion for the mass. What is the resonance frequency for the system?
Q14 E
