Explanation Given: The arbitrary velocity of body is x ˙ 0 . Concept used: Write the equation of motion a system containing spring, mass and damper. m x ¨ + c x ˙ + k x = 0 ...... (1) Here, m is the mass, k is the spring constant, c is the damping constant, x ˙ is the velocity of damper and x ¨ is the acceleration of mass. For heavy damping the solution for equation (1) is. x = c 1 e λ 1 t + c 2 e λ 2 t ...... (2) Here, x is the displacement of system, λ 1 and λ 2 are the roots of equation (1) and t is time. The above solution corresponds to a non-vibratory motion, as 1 and 2 are both negative, x approaches to zero as t increases indefinitely. Differentiate equation (2) with respect to time t . x ˙ = c 1 λ 1 e λ 1 t + c 2 λ 2 e λ 2 t ...... (3) Here, x ˙ is the velocity. Calculation: Substitute x 0 for x and 0 for t in equation (2). x 0 = c 1 + c 2 ...... (4) Here, x 0 is any arbitrary position. Substitute x ˙ 0 for x ˙ and 0 for t in equation (3). x ˙ 0 = c 1 λ 1 + c 2 λ 2 ...... (5) Substitute x 0 − c 1 for c 2 in equation (5) and solve for c 1 . c 1 = − x ˙ 0 + λ 2 x 0 λ 2 − λ 1 Substitute − x ˙ 0 + λ 2 x 0 λ 2 − λ 1 for c 1 in equation (4)

Free Damped Vibrations

Free vibration is a type of vibration in which the external force is removed after giving the initial displacement to a body/system. In other words, in this type of vibration, force is applied at the initial displacement of the system, and after the init…

A force of 20 newton stretches a spring 1 meter. A 5 kg mass is attached to the spring, and the system is then immersed in a medium that offers a damping force numerically equal to 10 times the instantaneous velocity. (a) Let x denote the downward displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position. [Note that x>0 when the mass is below the equilibrium position. ] Assume the mass is initially released from rest from a point 3 meters above the equilibrium position. Write the differential equation and the initial conditions for the function x(t)(b) Solve the initial value problem that you wrote above.(c) Find the exact time at which the mass passes through the equilibrium position for the first time heading downward. (Do not approximate.)(d) Find the exact time at which the mass reaches the lowest position. The "lowest position" means the largest value of x

4) Figure below shows a spring-mass- damper system. The mass is subjected to a steady force of P 2 N. The spring constant k 200 N/m, the mass m 5.2 kg and the damping ratio is f= 12.2 N. sec/m. What is the position of the mass after a sufficiently long time of force application? You may assume that the mass is initially at rest, and the spring at time t = 0 is in its unstretched condition. m k
