Explanation Calculation: Since ( c > c c ) which is over damped, the wavelength λ 1 and λ 2 is less than zero. The expression for the differential equation of over damping as follows: x = C 1 e λ 1 t + C 2 e λ 2 t (1) Differentiate the above equation with respect to ‘ t ’. v = d x d t = C 1 λ 1 e λ 1 t + C 2 λ 2 e λ 2 t (2) Since the body released from an arbitrary position with an arbitrary initial velocity cannot pass more than once through its equilibrium position. Substitute 0 for t , x 0 for x , and v 0 for v in equation (1). x 0 = C 1 e λ 1 ( 0 ) + C 2 e λ 2 ( 0 ) x 0 = C 1 e 0 + C 2 e 0 x 0 = C 1 ( 1 ) + C 2 ( 1 ) x 0 = C 1 + C 2 C 1 = x 0 − C 2 (3) Substitute 0 for t , x 0 for x , and v 0 for v in equation (2). d x d t = C 1 λ 1 e λ 1 t + C 2 λ 2 e λ 2 t v 0 = C 1 λ 1 e λ 1 ( 0 ) + C 2 λ 2 e λ 2 ( 0 ) v 0 = C 1 λ 1 ( 1 ) + C 2 λ 2 ( 1 ) v 0 = C 1 λ 1 + C 2 λ 2 Substitute x 0 − C 2 for C 1 . C 1 λ 1 + C 2 λ 2 = v 0 ( x 0 − C 2 ) λ 1 + C 2 λ 2 = v 0 x 0 λ 1 − C 2 λ 1 + C 2 λ 2 = v 0 x 0 λ 1 − C 2 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) = v 0 x 0 λ 1 = v 0 + C 2 ( λ 1 − λ 2 ) − ( x 0 λ 1 − v 0 ) = C 2 ( λ 2 − λ 1 ) C 2 = v 0 − x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 Substitute v 0 − x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 for C 2 in equation (3). C 1 = x 0 − v 0 − x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 = x 0 ( λ 2 − λ 1 ) − v 0 + x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 = x 0 λ 2 − x 0 λ 1 − v 0 + x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 = x 0 λ 2 − v 0 λ 2 − λ 1 = − ( v 0 − x 0 λ 2 ) λ 2 − λ 1 Substitute v 0 − x 0 λ 1 λ 2 − λ 1 for C 2 and − ( v 0 − x 0 λ 2 ) λ 2 − λ 1 for C 1 in equation (1)

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 boxcar moving at 1.7 m/s hits the shock absorber at the end of the track. The boxcar mass is 20,000 kg. The stiffness of the absorber is k = 100,000 N/m, and the damping coefficient is c = 40,000 N-s/m. The box car and shock absorber act as one system for a brief period while in contact. a. Make dynamic model (define system equation) for the boxcar and shock absorber system. Then, numerically simulate the system response starting at the point of contact and ending after 6 seconds. Plot the spring force, boxcar velocity, and boxcar displacement as functions of time. b. State the maximum spring deflection. Note that once the boxcar loses contact, the model is no longer valid. Model is not valid for the entire 6 seconds. At what point in time is contact lost? c. What is the boxcar velocity when contact is lost? H m ====== k

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
