Suppose a 1 kg mass is attached to the end of a string that is stretched 0.2 m by a force of 500 N (newtons). An exterior force F0 cos 50t acts on the mass. Find the position function x(t) if the initial conditions are given by x(0) = 0, x′(0) = 50.

String is wrapped around an object of mass M = 0.3 kg and moment of inertia I = 0.01 kg·m2. You pull the string with your hand straight up with some constant force F such that the center of the object does not move up or down, but the object spins faster and faster (see the figure). This is like a yo-yo; nothing but the vertical string touches the object. When your hand is a height y0 = 0.26 m...

A box of mass m = 10.0 kg is attached to a rope. The other end of the rope is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 15.0 cm. When you release the box, it begins to fall and the rope around the pulley begins to unwind, causing the pulley to rotate. As the box falls, the rope does not slip as it unwinds from the pulley. If the box is traveling at a speed of 2.50 m/s after...

Figure 8-31 shows a ball with mass m ? 0.341 kg attached to the end of a thin rod with length L ? 0.452 m and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the ball can move in a vertical circle. The rod is held horizontally as shown and then given enough of a downward push to cause the ball to swing down and around and just reach the vertically up position, with zero speed...

A 3-kg mass is attached to the end of a coil spring with stiffness k=48N/m . The mass is then pulled down 0.5m (from its equilibrium position) and released at t = 0 with an initial velocity of 2 m/sec directed upward. Neglect the resistance of the medium. a) Determine the resulting displacement and velocity as functions of time. b) Find amplitude, period and frequency of the motion. c) At what time does the weight first pass through the equilibrium...

A ball of mass m is attached to a string of length L. It is swung in a vertical circle with enough speed to keep the string taut throughout the motion. Assume the ball travels freely in the circle with negligible loss of mechanical energy. Determine if the following six statements are true or false; e.g., enter TTFFFF. The tension in the string is less at the top of the circle than at the bottom of the circle. The acceleration...
