Explanation Given: “Sprong” obey the force law F x = − q ( x − x e q ) 3 Where; q = the sprong constant. x e q = the equilibrium position. x eq = 0 Thus; F x = − q x 3 Mass of plastic ball = 20 g The sprong constant = 40,000. The compression of sprong = 10 cm Formula used: The force F x is given by the relation; F x = − d U d s = negative derivative of potential energy with respect to position. Where; U = Potential energy F x = interactive force x = the position. Hence; Integrate on both sides to get potential energy ∫ F x = ∫ − d U d x ∫ F x d x = ∫ - d U − ∫ F x d x = U ( x ) ⇒ U ( x ) = − ∫ F x d x Negative integral of conservative force ( F x ) will give the potential energy ( U ). The energy conservation equation is also used. If the system is both isolated and non-dissipative, then the mechanical energy is conserved: K i + U i = K f + U f Where, K = kinetic energy U = potential energy Calculation: a) For the unit of q , Consider the equation, F x = − q x 3 F x is in Newton (N) x is in meters (m) Hence; F x = − q x 3 N = q (m) 3 for unit, the sign does not matter ⇒ q = N m 3 b) Potential energy ( U ) is given by U

Kinematics

A machine is a device that accepts energy in some available form and utilizes it to do a type of work. Energy, work, or power has to be transferred from one mechanical part to another to run a machine. While the transfer of energy between two machine par…

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

In physics, work is the product of the net force in direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement or it can also be defined as the energy transfer of an object when it is moved for a distance due to the forces acting on it in the d…

A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
