Problem 2 A railroad car of masse 20000 kg travelling at a velocity v=10 m/s is stopped at the end of the track by a spring-damper system. If the stiffness of the spring is k=40 N/mm and the damping constant c=20 Ns/mm, determine a) the maximum displacement of the car after engaging the springs and damper and b) the time taken to reach the maximum displacement.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 2
A railroad car of masse 20000 kg travelling at a velocity v=10 m/s is stopped at the end of the
track by a spring-damper system. If the stiffness of the spring is k=40 N/mm and the damping
constant c=20 Ns/mm, determine a) the maximum displacement of the car after engaging the
springs and damper and b) the time taken to reach
the maximum displacement.
