A block with mass m =7.1 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs

Question

A block with mass m =7.1 kg is hung from a vertical spring. When the mass hangs in equilibrium, the spring stretches x = 0.23 m. While at this equilibrium position, the mass is then given an initial push downward at v = 4.4 m/s. The block oscillates on the spring without friction.

( please don't do it if you are not sure! this is my second post with the same question )

just give me the final answer

Explanation / Answer

1) Apply, F = k*x

m*g = k*x

==> k = m*g/x

= 7.1*9.8/0.23

= 302.5 N/m

2) angular frequency, w = sqrt(k/m)

= sqrt(302.5/7.1)

= 6.53 rad/s

frequency, f = w/(2*pi)

= 6.53/(2*pi)

= 1.04 hz

3) Let A is the Amplitide of motion,

Vmax =A*w

==> A = Vmax/w

= 4.4/6.53

= 0.674 m

x = A*sin(w*t)

v = dx/dt

= A*w*cos(w*t)

at t = 0.37 s

v = 0.674*6.53*cos(6.53*0.37)

= -3.3 m/s

4) a_max = A*w^2

= 0.674*6.53^2

= 28.74 m/s^2

5) x = A*sin(w*t)

= 0.653*sin(6.53*0.37)

= 0.433 m

so, F = k*x

= 302.5*0.433

= 131 N

6) At the highest point of the oscillation.
