A mass of 16 kilograms is suspended from a spring with spring constant 7 Kg/sec^2. The damping constant is 2 Kg/sec and the spring is subject to an external force F(t)= 3cos(9t) Newtons. The motion of the mass eventually settles down to a periodic oscillation. What is the period (in sec) of this periodic oscillation? 2 9.

A disk is rotating on a horizontal axis as shown in the figure. Answer the following questions if you pull out at A and push in at B along the axis of the disk.What is the direction of the torque acting on the disk? What is the direction of the initial angular momentum vector for the disk? The applied torque causes the wheel's axis (or angular momentum vector) to move. From the front view, what is the direction of motion of the L vector? A disk is rotating on a vertical axis as shown in the figure.

A special aircraft which is used for climate research rises with a constant speed at an incline of 35 degree with the vertical. It releases a projectile shaped measurement probe an altitude of 3km. The probe hits the ground 1 min and 17 seconds after the release. Air resistance can be neglected.1. What is the velocity of the plane?
