A damped oscillator is formed by attaching a mass with m = 1.5 kg to one end of a spring with spring constant k = 8 N/m. The other end of the spring is anchored and the mass can slide on a horizontal surface The damping force is given by –bv with b = 230 g/s. At t=0, the mass is displaced so that the spring is compressed by 12 cm from its unstretched length and released from rest.

(a) Find the time required for the amplitude of the resulting oscillations to decay to 1/3 of its initial value.

(b) How many oscillations are made by the mass during this time?

(c) Find the value of b so that the oscillator is critically damped.

(d) At t=0, this critically damped oscillator is displaced so that the spring is stretched a distance of 12 cm beyond its unstretched length, find the time required for mass to reach the position for which the spring is stretched by only 4 cm.

Bohr’s Model can be used to find the wavelengths of the photons in the absorption or emission spectrum of hydrogen atom.

Using that model, find the wavelengths of the 5→2, 4→2, 3→2 and 2→1 transitions. Specify the colour associated with these wavelengths when possible. To determine the colours, use tables. If the wavelength is not part of the visible spectrum, specify if it is ultraviolet or infrared.

b) What was the net torque exerted on the propeller while it was accelerating?

c) When t = 4 s, what was ω for the propeller?

d) When t = 4 s, through what angle θ had the propeller rotated? Your answer should be entered in radians.

e) When t = 4 s, determine ac for the tip of a blade.

f) When t = 4 s, determine atan for the tip of a blade.

g) When t = 4 s, determine atot for the tip of a blade.
