a) x = (4/3) e⁻²ᵗ - (1/3) e⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (1/3) [4e⁻²ᵗ - e⁻⁸ᵗ]
b) x = (-2/3) e⁻²ᵗ + (5/3) e⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (1/3) [-2e⁻²ᵗ + 5e⁻⁸ᵗ]
Explanation:
Let the position of the mass at any time be x.
The general formula for the elastic material is given as
mx" + cx' + kx = 0
m = mass of spring = 1 kg
c = damping constant = 10 kg/s
k = spring constant = 16 N/m
mx" + cx' + kx = 0
Becomes
x" + 10x' + 16x = 0
We then solve this differential equation
x" + 10x' + 16x = 0
Let x = eˢᵗ (s is an arbitrary number)
x' = seˢᵗ
x" = s²eˢᵗ
x" + 10x' + 16x = 0
Becomes
s²eˢᵗ + 10seˢᵗ + 16eˢᵗ = 0
s² + 10s + 16 = 0
s² + 2s + 8s + 16 = 0
s(s + 2) + 8(s + 2) = 0
(s + 2)(s + 8) = 0
s = -2 or -8
So,
x = Ae⁻²ᵗ + Be⁻⁸ᵗ
a) x(0) = 1 m, x'(0) = 0 (released from rest)
x = Ae⁻²ᵗ + Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x(0) = 1 = A + B
A + B = 1 (eqn 1)
x' = -2Ae⁻²ᵗ - 8 Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x'(0) = -2A - 8B = 0
2A = -8B
A = -4B
Recall that A + B = 1
-4B + B = 1
-3B = 1
B = (-1/3)
A = -4B = -4(-1/3) = (4/3)
x = Ae⁻²ᵗ + Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (4/3) e⁻²ᵗ - (1/3) e⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (1/3) [4e⁻²ᵗ - e⁻⁸ᵗ]
b) x(0) = 1 m, x'(0) = - 12 m/s
x = Ae⁻²ᵗ + Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x(0) = 1 = A + B
A + B = 1 (eqn 1)
x' = -2Ae⁻²ᵗ - 8 Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x'(0) = -2A - 8B = -12
A + 4B = 6
A + B = 1
A + 4B = 6
Solving the simultaneous equation
B = (5/3)
A = (-2/3)
x = Ae⁻²ᵗ + Be⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (-2/3) e⁻²ᵗ + (5/3) e⁻⁸ᵗ
x = (1/3) [-2e⁻²ᵗ + 5e⁻⁸ᵗ]
Hope this Helps!!!
