Question

Problem 47P

A 0.321-kg mass is attached to a spring with a force constant of 13.3 N/m. If the mass is displaced 0.256 m from equilibrium and released, what is its speed when it is 0.128 m from equilibrium?

Solution

Step 1 of 2:

Here we have to find the speed of the block when it is 0.128 m far from the equilibrium position.

The mass of the block is,

.

The force constant of the spring is,

.

The displacement of the mass from the equilibrium is,

.

The potential energy stored in the spring is,

         

         .

The initial kinetic energy was zero.

When the mass is at a distance of 0.128 m from the equilibrium position, the potential energy will be,

         

         .
