Problem of Oscillation of mass attached to spring with external force

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a mass-spring system experiencing forced oscillation due to an external force proportional to cos ωt, where ω is not equal to the natural angular frequency ω0. The governing equations include F = -kx and F = -mω²x, which describe the system's behavior. The solution involves combining the natural frequency dynamics with the external force's influence. Participants suggest referencing textbooks on oscillation or acoustics for deeper insights into forced oscillation problems. Understanding the time displacement of the oscillator requires analyzing the interaction between the spring force and the external force.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
