An 8.00 lb weight stretches a certain spring 0.500 ft. with this weight attached, the spring is pulled 3.00 inches longer than its equilibrium length and released. find the equation of the resulting motion, assuming no damping.

x(t) = 0.75 Cos8t

Explanation:

we know

F = m g

k x = m g

k =

k =

k = 512 lb/s²

now,

m = 8 lb    k = 512 lb/s²

x(t) = C₁Cos8t + C₂Sin8t

at t = 0  x = 0.5 ft + 3 inch = 0.75 ft

C₁ = 0.75 ft

x'(t) = -0.75×8Sin8t + 8C₂Cos8t

at t=0      x'(0) = 0

 8C₂ = 0

hence

x(t) = 0.75 Cos8t

the minimum amperage that the current in this wire would have to have so that its weight is completely supported by the magnetic force due to earth's field, assuming that no other forces except gravity act on it

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
