A spring with a spring constant k of 100 pounds per foot is loaded with 1-pound weight and brought to equilibrium. It is then stretched an additional 1 inch and released.

Answer:

y = 1 cos 10t       inch

Explanation:

This exercise creates a simple harmonic motion, which is described by the equation.

       y = A cos (wt + φ)

The initial load of 1 lb creates a new equilibrium point (y₀), but does not intervene in the movement because it is in equilibrium, the unbalanced force is created by the movement.

The system lengthens 1 inch. Additional this is the breadth

          A = 1 in

The angular velocity is given by

         w = √ (k / m)

         w = √ (100/1)

         w = 10 rad / s

The angle φ is determined by the initial conditions

In this case for maximum elongation is released, the speed is zero at this point

          v =dy/dt =  - A w sin (wt + φ)

          0 = A w sin(w 0 + φ)

          0 = sin fi

          fi = 0

With these results we can write the equation

          y = 1 cos (10 t +0)

           y = 1 cos 10t       inch
