A spring with a mass of 2 kg has a damping constant 14 kg/s. A force of 3.6 N is required to keep the spring stretched 0.3 m beyond its natural length. The spring is stretched 0.8 m beyond its natural length and then released. Find the position of the mass at any time t. (Assume that movement to the right is the positive x-direction and the spring is attached to a wall at the left end.)

x = 0.96 e⁻ᵗ - 0.16 e⁻⁶ᵗ

Explanation:

Let the position of the mass at any time be x.

The general formula for the elastic material is given as

mx" + cx' + kx = 0

m = mass of spring = 2 kg

c = damping constant = 14 kg/s

k = spring constant

F = kx

3.6 = 0.3k

k = 12 N/m

mx" + cx' + kx = 0

Becomes

2x" + 14x' + 12x = 0

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

x(0) = 0.8 m, x'(0) = 0 m/s (It was initially at rest)

We then solve this differential equation

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

x = eˢᵗ (s is an arbitrary number)

x' = seˢᵗ

x" = s²eˢᵗ

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

Becomes

s²eˢᵗ + 7seˢᵗ + 6eˢᵗ = 0

s² + 7s + 6 = 0

s² + s + 6s + 6 = 0

s(s + 1) + 6(s + 1) = 0

(s + 1)(s + 6) = 0

s = -1 or -6

So,

x = Ae⁻ᵗ + Be⁻⁶ᵗ

At t = 0, x = 0.8

0.8 = A + B (eqn 1)

At t = 0, x' = 0

x' = -Ae⁻ᵗ - 6Be⁻⁶ᵗ

0 = -A - 6B

A = -6B

From eqn 1

A + B = 0.8

-6B + B = 0.8

-5B = 0.8

B = -0.16

A = -6B = -6 × -0.16 = 0.96

x = 0.96 e⁻ᵗ - 0.16 e⁻⁶ᵗ

Hope this Helps!!!

i guess that visual aids present persuasive examples to what you are presenting, some factors would be theme (does it fit with the color, information, what you are presenting), size (can you see it, is it a big enough span of data/information), and overall look of the visual aid.

hope this : )

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
