Question

A mass

m = 1.47 kg

is attached to a spring of force constant

k = 50.9 N/m

and set into oscillation on a horizontal frictionless surface by stretching it an amount

A = 0.19 m

from its equilibrium position and then releasing it. The figure below shows the oscillating mass and the particle on the associated reference circle at some time after its release. The reference circle has a radius A, and the particle traveling on the reference circle has a constant counterclockwise angular speed , constant tangential speed

V = A,

and centripetal acceleration of constant magnitude

ac = 2A.

Determine the following.

maximum speed of the oscillating mass
m/s

magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the oscillating mass
m/s2

magnitude of the maximum force experienced by the oscillating mass
N

maximum kinetic energy of the oscillating mass
J

maximum elastic potential energy of the spring attached to the mass
J

total energy of the oscillating mass-spring system
J

Explanation / Answer

1.
w = sqrt (K/m)
= sqrt (50.9/1.47)
= 5.88 rad/s

V max = w*A
= 5.88*0.19
= 1.12 m/s

2.
a max = w^2*A
= (5.88)^2*0.19
= 6.57 m/s^2

3.
F max = K*A
= 50.9 * 0.19
= 9.67 N

4.
Max KE = 0.5*m*(v max)^2
= 0.5*1.47* (1.12)^2
= 0.92 J
