A horizontal spring—mass system has low friction, spring stiffness 200N/mand mass0.4kg. The system is released with an initial compression of the spring of10cm and an initial speed of the mass of3m/s.

(a) What is the maximum stretch during the motion?

(b) What is the maximum speed during the motion?

(c) Now suppose that there is energy dissipation of 0.01 J per cycle of the spring—mass system. What is the average power input in watts required to maintain a steady oscillation?

Short Answer

  1. The maximum stretchis 0.165m.
  2. The maximum speed is,3.74m/s .
  3. The average input energy per second is,0.030watts .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The stiffness of the spring is,k=200N/m .
  • The mass of the spring is,role="math" localid="1668488385102" m=0.4kg.
  • The initial compression of the spring is,xc=10 cm.
  • The speed of the mass is,vi=3m/s.

Significance of spring Stiffness.

A body's stiffness is a measurement of how resistant an elastic body is to deforming. In general, the force necessary to generate unit deformation for a spring is determined by the spring stiffness.

03

(a)  Determination of the maximum stretch during the motion.

The expression for the conservation of energy is expressed as,

12kxc2+12mvi2=12kxm2+12mvf2

Here, kis the spring constant,xc is the initial compression,m is the mass,xm is the maximum stretch,vi is the initial speed andvf is the final speed.

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

12200N/m×0.1m2+120.4kg×3m/s2=12200N/mxm2+120.4kg×0xm=0.167m

Hence the maximum stretch is 0.167 m.

04

(b) Determination of the maximum speed during the motion

The conservation of energy between the initial and final states is expressed as,

12kxc2+12mvi2=12mvm2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

12200N/m×0.1m2+120.4kg×3m/s2=120.4kg×vm2vm=3.74m/s

Hencethe maximum speed is,3.74m/s.

05

(c) Determination of the average power input

Consider each cycle has energy dissipation is, 0.01 J

The energy must be supply steady state oscillation is 0.01 Jper cycle.

The time period per cycle of per cycle is,

T=2Ï€Ó¬T=2Ï€mk

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

T=2Ï€0.4kg200N/mT=0.28s

Average input energy per second is,

ΔET=0.01 J0.28 s=0.036J/s=0.036watts

Hence the average input energy per second is, 0.036watts.
