A spring with a mass of 2 kg has a damping constant 14 kg/s. A force of 3.6 N is required to keep the spring stretched 0.3 m beyond its natural length. The spring is stretched 0.8 m beyond its natural length and then released. Find the position of the mass at any time t. (Assume that movement to the right is the positive x-direction and the spring is attached to a wall at the left end.)

Answer:

x = 0.96 e⁻ᵗ - 0.16 e⁻⁶ᵗ

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 = 2 kg

c = damping constant = 14 kg/s

k = spring constant

F = kx

3.6 = 0.3k

k = 12 N/m

mx" + cx' + kx = 0

Becomes

2x" + 14x' + 12x = 0

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

x(0) = 0.8 m, x'(0) = 0 m/s (It was initially at rest)

We then solve this differential equation

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

x = eˢᵗ (s is an arbitrary number)

x' = seˢᵗ

x" = s²eˢᵗ

x" + 7x' + 6x = 0

Becomes

s²eˢᵗ + 7seˢᵗ + 6eˢᵗ = 0

s² + 7s + 6 = 0

s² + s + 6s + 6 = 0

s(s + 1) + 6(s + 1) = 0

(s + 1)(s + 6) = 0

s = -1 or -6

So,

x = Ae⁻ᵗ + Be⁻⁶ᵗ

At t = 0, x = 0.8

0.8 = A + B (eqn 1)

At t = 0, x' = 0

x' = -Ae⁻ᵗ - 6Be⁻⁶ᵗ

0 = -A - 6B

A = -6B

From eqn 1

A + B = 0.8

-6B + B = 0.8

-5B = 0.8

B = -0.16

A = -6B = -6 × -0.16 = 0.96

x = 0.96 e⁻ᵗ - 0.16 e⁻⁶ᵗ

Hope this Helps!!!

Answer:

[tex]x(t)=\frac{1}{25} e^{-6t}+\frac{19}{25} e^{-t}+te^{-t}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

mass, m = 2kg

constant, c = 14kg/s

K = 3.6 / 0.3

= 12

[tex]F(t)= 10e^{-t}[/tex]

Differentiate equation

[tex]mx''+cx'+kx=f(t)\\\\2x''+14x'+12x=10e^{-t}\\\\x''+7x'+6x=5e^{-t}\\\\x(0)=0.8,x'(0)=0[/tex]

Characteristic equation

[tex]r^2+7r+6=0\\\\r^2+6r+r+6=0\\\\r(r+6)+1(r+6)=0\\r=-1,r=-6[/tex]

[tex]x_t=c_1e^{-6t}+c_2e^{-t}[/tex]

Let

[tex]x_p=Ate^{-t}[/tex]

[tex]x_p'=A(-te^{-t}+e^{-t}\\\\x_p''=A(te^{-t}-2e^{-t})\\\\x_p''+7x_p'+6x_p=5e^{-t}\\\\A(te^{-t}-2e^{-t}+7A(-te^{-t}+e^{-t})+6Ate^{-t}=5e^{-t}[/tex]

like terms cancel each other

[tex]-2e^{-t}+7Ae^{-t}=5e^{-t}[/tex]

[tex]5Ae^{-t}=5e^{-t}\\\\A=1[/tex]

[tex]x(t)=c_1e^{-6t}+c_2e^{-t}+te^{-t}\\\\x(0)=0.8\\\\c_1+c_2=0.8\\\\x'(0)=0\\\\-6c_1-c_2+1=0\\\\c_1+c_2=0.8----(1)\\\\6c_1+c_2=1----(2)[/tex]

subtract both equation

[tex]-5c=-0.2\\c_1=\frac{1}{25}[/tex]

[tex]c_2=\frac{8}{10} -\frac{1}{25} \\\\c_2=\frac{4}{5} -\frac{1}{25} \\\\c_2=\frac{19}{25}[/tex]

[tex]x(t)=\frac{1}{25} e^{-6t}+\frac{19}{25} e^{-t}+te^{-t}[/tex]
