Question:

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression, x = 8.00 cos (5t + π / 8) where x is in centimeters and t is in seconds. (a) At t = 0, find the position of the piston. cm (b) At t = 0, find velocity of the piston. cm/s (c) At t = 0, find acceleration of the piston. cm/s2 (d) Find the period and amplitude of the motion. period s amplitude cm

(a) 7.392cm

(b) -15.32 cm/s

(d) 0.4πs and 8.00cm

Explanation:

The general equation of a simple harmonic motion (SHM) is given by;

x(t) = A cos (wt + Φ) --------------(i)

Where;

x(t) = position of the body at a given time t

A = amplitude or maximum displacement during oscillation

w = angular velocity

t = time

Φ = phase constant.

Given from question:

x(t) = 8.00 cos (5t + π / 8) ---------------(ii)

(a) At time t = 0;

The position, x(t), of the body (piston) is given by substituting the value of t = 0 into equation (ii) as follows;

x(0) = 8.00 cos (5(0) + π / 8)

x(0) = 8.00 cos (π /8)

x(0) = 8.00 x 0.924

x(0) = 7.392 cm

Therefore, the position of the piston at time t = 0 is 7.392cm

(b) To get the velocity, v(t), of the piston at t = 0, first differentiate equation (ii) with respect to t as follows;

v(t) = $\frac{dx(t)}{dt}$

v(t) = $\frac{d(8.00cos(5t + \pi / 8 ))}{dt}$

v(t) = 8 (-5 sin (5t + π / 8))

v(t) = -40sin(5t + π / 8) --------------------(iii)

Now, substitute t=0 into the equation as follows;

v(0) = -40 sin(5(0) + π / 8)

v(0) = -40 sin(π / 8)

v(0) = -40 x 0.383

v(0) = -15.32 cm/s

Therefore, the velocity of the piston at time t = 0 is -15.32 cm/s

(c) To find the acceleration a(t) of the piston at t = 0, first differentiate equation (iii), which is the velocity equation, with respect to t as follows;

a(t) = $\frac{dv(t)}{dt}$

a(t) = $\frac{d(-40sin (5t + \pi /8))}{dt}$

a(t) = -200 cos (5t + π / 8)

Now, substitute t = 0 into the equation as follows;

a(0) = -200 cos (5(0) + π / 8)

a(0) = -200 cos (π / 8)

a(0) = -200 x 0.924

a(0) = -184.8 cm/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the piston at time t = 0 is -184cm/s²

(d) To find the period, T, first, let's compare equations (i) and (ii) as follows;

x(t) = A cos (wt + Φ) --------------(i)

x(t) = 8.00 cos (5t + π / 8) ---------------(ii)

From these equations it can be deduced that;

Amplitude, A = 8.00cm

Angular velocity, w = 5 rads/s

But;

w = $\frac{2\pi }{T}$ [Where T = period of oscillation]

=> T = $\frac{2\pi }{w}$

=> T = $\frac{2\pi }{5}$

=> T = 0.4π s

Therefore, the period and amplitude of the piston's motion are respectively 0.4πs and 8.00cm
