A spring with a spring constant k of 100 pounds per foot is loaded with 1-pound weight and brought to equilibrium. It is then stretched an additional 1 inch and released. Find the equation of motion, the amplitude, and the period. Neglect friction.

y(t)= ?

where t is time and y(t) is displacement in time.

Amplitude: ? inch(es)

Period: ? second(s).

Equation of movement y(t)

Amplitude: 1 inch

Period: 0.628 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is no friction, the amplitude will be the length it was streched from the equilibrium. In this case, this value is 1 inch

The period depends on the mass and the spring constant.

The formula for the period is:

The model y(t) for the movement of the mass-spring system is

solution:

we have to construct

∠m nt ≅ ∠p qr

the steps to draw this construction are

step 1: use a compass to draw an arc from point q which intersects the side pq at point a and the side qr at point b.

step 2: draw a segment nt and use the same width of the compass to draw an arc from point n which intersects the segment nt at a point x.

step 3:

step 4: join points n and y using a straightedge.

step 3:

option (d).maintaining the same width of the compass as ab, draw an arc from point x such that it intersects the arc drawn from n in a point y.

to draw   congruent angles , 1. width of compasses while drawing two angles should be same i.e from point at which angle has to be drawn, 2.the distance between the two points where the compass intersects the two sides should be same while drawing any two congruent angles.
