A mass of $2\,kg$ is attached to the spring of spring constant $50 \,Nm^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance of $5 \,cm $ from its equilibrium position at $x= 0$ on a horizontal frictionless surface from rest at $t = 0$. Write the expression for its displacement at anytime $t$.
Spring-block system is shown as in figure and it executes SHM with amplitude of $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ from mean position.
Here, spring constant $k=50 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$, amplitude $\mathrm{A}=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
mass attached $m=2 \mathrm{~kg}$
$\therefore$ Angular frequency $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50}{2}}=5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$
Displacement of block at time $t$
$y(t)=$ Asin $(\omega t+\phi)$, where $\phi=$ initial phase
at time $t=0$
$y(0)=$ Asin $(\phi)$
A $=$ Asin $\phi$
$\therefore 1=\sin \phi$$\quad[\because$ at time $t=0, y=+$ A $]$
$\therefore \phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$ rad
$\therefore$ required equation,
$y(t)=\text { Asin }[\omega t+\phi]$
$\therefore y(t)=5 \sin \left(\omega t+\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$
$y(t)=5 \cos 5 t$ is a required equation where $t$ is in second and $y$ is in cm.
Two springs with negligible masses and force constant of $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to the block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially the block is at rest, at the equilibrium position in which both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0,$ a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.
A block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A block $Q$ of same mass is placed over the block $P$ and the coefficient of static friction between them is ${\mu _S}$. A spring of spring constant $K$ is attached to block $Q$. The blocks are displaced together to a distance $A$ and released. The upper block oscillates without slipping over the lower block. The maximum frictional force between the block is
A clock $S$ is based on oscillations of a spring and a clock $P$ is based on pendulum motion. Both clocks run at the same rate on earth. On a planet having same density as earth but twice the radius then
A $1 \,kg$ block attached to a spring vibrates with a frequency of $1\, Hz$ on a frictionless horizontal table. Two springs identical to the original spring are attached in parallel to an $8\, kg$ block placed on the same table. So, the frequency of vibration of the $8\, kg$ block is ..... $Hz$
Force constant of a spring is $K$ . If half part is detached then force constant of the remaining spring will be
