An object of mass 100 grams hangs from a long spring. When pulled down 10 cm from its equilibrium position and released from rest, it vibrates with a period of 2 seconds.(a) What is the speed of the object as it passes through the equilibrium position?

b) What is the acceleration of the object when it is 5 cm above the equilibrium position?

c) When it is moving upward, how long does it take for the object to move from a point 5 cm below its equilibrium position to a point 5 cm above its equilibrium position?

Answer:

(a) 0.314 m/sec (b) 0.492[tex]m/sec^2[/tex] (c) [tex]\frac{1}{6}sec[/tex]

Explanation:

We have given the mass of object m = 100 gram =0.1 kg

Amplitude A = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Time period T = 2 seconds

We know that [tex]T=\frac{2\pi }{\omega }[/tex]

So [tex]\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\pi }{2}=\piradian/sec[/tex]

(A) Velocity is given by [tex]V=A\omega =0.1\times 3.14=0.314m/sec[/tex]

(b) Acceleration when the object is 5 cm above the equilibrium position [tex]a=\omega ^2x=3.14^2\times 0.05=0.492m/sec^2[/tex]

(c) The equation of the motion is given by [tex]x(t)=Asin(\omega t)[/tex]

At x =0.05 m

[tex]0.05=0.1sin(3.14t)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}sec[/tex]

So total time [tex]= \frac{1}{2\times 3}=\frac{1}{6}sec[/tex]
