Concept explainers

Simple harmonic motion

Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.

Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.

Oscillation

In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.

In Haiti, public transportation is often by taptaps, small pickup trucks with seats along the sides of the pickup bed and railings
to which passengers can hang on. Typically they carry two dozen or more passengers plus an assortment of chickens, goats,
luggage, etc. Putting this much into the back of a pickup truck puts quite a large load on the truck springs.
A truck has springs for each wheel, but for simplicity assume that the individual springs can be treated as one spring with a
spring constant that includes the effect of all the springs. Also for simplicity, assume that all four springs compress equally
when weight is added to the truck and that the equilibrium length of the springs is the length they have when they support the
load of an empty truck.
▼ Part A
A 63 kg driver gets into an empty taptap to start the day's work. The springs compress 2.1x10-² m. What is the effective
spring constant of the spring system in the taptap?

Part B
After driving a portion of the route, the taptap is fully loaded with a total of 27 people including the driver, with an average
mass of 63 kg per person. In addition, there are three 15-kg goats, five 3-kg chickens, and a total of 25 kg of bananas on
their way to the market. Assume that the springs have somehow not yet compressed to their maximum amount. How much
are the springs compressed?

You pull on a string with a horizontal force of magnitude Fyb = 69 N that is attached to a block of mass m 6 kg, then to the axle of a solid cylinder of mass me = 4.4 kg and radius r = 0.5 m, then to a spring of spring constant k = 115 N/m. This is all done on an inclined plane where there is friction (μs = 0.65 and μk = 0.36), and the incline angle is 0 = 30 degrees. Everything starts at rest, and the spring is unstretched. The block slides down the plane, the cylinder rolls down the plane (without slipping), and the spring stretches. k lllllllll Fyb b 0 Speed First, what is the speed of the block and cylinder after you have pulled the block and cylinder 172 cm down the plane?

The wheel is attached to the spring. The mass of the wheel is m=20 kg. The radius of the wheel is 0.6m. The radius of gyration kG=0.4 m. The spring’s unstretched length is L0=1.0 m. The stiffness coefficient of the spring is k=2.0 N/m. The wheel is released from rest at the state 1 when the angle between the spring and the vertical direction is θ=30°. The wheel rolls without slipping and passes the position at the state 2 when the angle is θ=0°. The spring’s length at the state 2 is L2=4 m. (11) The angular velocity at the state 2?_______(rad/s) (two decimal places)
A spring with spring constant 20 N/m is compressed a distance of 5.5 cm by a ball with a mass of 208.5 g (see figure below). The ball is then released and rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface, leaving the spring at point A. The process is repeated, using a block instead, with a mass identical to that of the ball. The block compresses the spring by 5.5 cm and is also released, leaving the spring at point A. Each object travels up the incline shown in the figure before coming to rest momentarily. Assume the ball rolls, but ignore other effects of friction. (Assume the ball rolls without slipping up the incline until it comes to rest.) (a) How high above the starting position is the ball when it comes to rest momentarily? m (b) How high above the starting position is the block when it comes to rest momentarily? m
A cube, whose mass is 0.700 kg, is attached to a spring with a force constant of 110 N/m. The cube rests upon a frictionless, horizontal surface (shown in the figure below). A cube labeled m is attached to the right end of a horizontal spring, and the left end of the spring is attached to a wall. The spring is stretched horizontally such that the cube is displaced by a distance A to the right of its equilibrium position. The cube is pulled to the right a distance A = 0.110 m from its equilibrium position (the vertical dashed line) and held motionless. The cube is then released from rest. (a) At the instant of release, what is the magnitude of the spring force (in N) acting upon the cube? N (b) At that very instant, what is the magnitude of the cube's acceleration (in m/s2)? m/s2 (c) In what direction does the acceleration vector point at the instant of release?
