An object of mass one unit is hanging from a spring. Initially it is held still at 1/2 unit of length below its equilibrium position. It is then released. Using a restoring force given by k=16 and a damping constant c=8 find x(t), where x(t) gives the position of the weight at time t, sketch the graph of the function (Simple Harmonic motion)

An object of mass one unit is hanging from a spring. Initially it is held still at 1/2 unit of length below its equilibrium position. It is then released. Using a restoring force given by k=16, find x(t) where x(t) gives the position of the weight at time t. Assuming no damping or external force on the spring. (the second sentence gives Xo and Vo for the initial conditions X(0)= Xo, X'(0)=Vo

An object of mass of 2.7 kg is attached to a spring with a force constant of k = 280 N/m. At t = 0, the object is observed to be 2.0 cm from its equilibrium position with a speed of 55 cm/s in the -x direction. The object undergoes simple harmonic motion “back and forth motion” without any loss of energy. (a) Sketch a diagram labeling all forces on the object and calculate the maximum displacement from equilibrium of...

A mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8/3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 3 feet below the equilibrium position, and the subsequent motion takes place in a medium that offers a damping force that is numerically equal to 1/2 the instantaneous velocity. Find the equation of motion x(t) if the mass is driven by an external force equal to f(t) = 10 cos(3t). (Use g = 32 ft/s^2 for the acceleration due to...
