A door is closed under the control of a spring and dashpot. The spring gives a torque of 13.5 Nm when the door is closed and has a stiffness of 50 N.m/rad. The dashpot gives a damping torque of 100 N.m.s/rad. The moment of inertia of the door about its hinges is 90 Kg.m2. Derive an expression for the motion of the door if it is opened 90o and released and find approximately the time it takes to close

A particle of mass 1 is attached to a spring dashpot mechanism. The stiffness constant of the spring is 3 N/m and the drag force exerted on the particle by the dashpot mechanism is 4 times its velocity. At time t=0, the particle is stretched 1/4 m from its equilibrium position. At time t=3 seconds, an impulsive force of very short duration is applied to the system. This force imparts an impulse of 2 N*s to the particle. Find the...

A mass-spring-dashpot system is described by my′′ + cy′ + ky = Fo cos ωt, see §3.6 Eq. (17). This second-order differential equation has been used in simulations, such as this one at the PhET site: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/resonance. For m = 2.53kg, c = 0.502N/(m/s), k = 97.2N/m, Fo = 97.2×0.5N = 48.6N,and ω = 2.6, the equation becomes 2.53y′′ + 0.502y′ + 97.2y = 48.6 cos(ωt) .......................

A new refrigerator is being designed. Magnets will be used to hold the door closed, and the rubber seal thickness can be selected to adjust the separation between the magnets (and therefore the force). The total length of rubber seal required to go around the door is 6m, and the cost of rubber seal is given equation 2. The pull force when opening the door should be 12N. Determine which of the magnet combinations should be used, and the combined...
