Answer:

[tex]x(t)=-5sint2t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Force=720N

displacement=4m

mass = 45kg

velocity=8m/s

We can determine the spring constant using hooks law

F=ke

K=f/e

K=720/4=180N/M

also w can write newton second law of motion for the system

[tex]\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{k}{m}x =0[/tex]

if we substitute the values of the mass and spring constant we have

[tex]\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{k}{m}x =0\\\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+4x=0\\[/tex]

The solution of the differential equation is of the form

[tex]\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+w^2x=0 \\ x(t)=C_1coswt+C_2sinwt\\w^2=4, \\w=2\\ x(t)=C_1cos2t+C_2sin2t\\[/tex]

Next we solve for the initial and final solution we arrive at

[tex]x(0)=0m\\\\x^{'} (0)=10m/s[/tex]

Hence the final solution is of the form

[tex]x(t)=-5sint2t[/tex]

The final equation of motion of the mass and spring system given in the question is;

x(t) = -4sin 2t

We are given;

Force; F = 720N

displacement; s = 4m

mass; m = 45kg

velocity; v = 8m/s

  • From newton's second law, we can have the expression for this system as;

d²x/dt² + (k/m)x = 0

From hooke's law, we know that;

F = ks

where k is spring constant

k = F/s

k = 720/4

k = 180 N/m

Thus;

d²x/dt² + (720/180)x = 0

d²x/dt² + 4x = 0

The general form of this is;

x'' + ω²x = 0

Thus;

ω² = 4

ω = 2

We know that the solution to it is given by the general expression;

x(t) = c₁ cos ωt + c₂ sinωt

Thus;

x(t) = c₁ cos 2t + c₂ sin2t

When we solve at the initial conditions of the equation, we arrive at;

x(0) = 0 and x'(0) = -8 m/s

Thus, the equation is; x(t) = -4sin 2t
