Yes Ofcourse as per the question it clearly seems it will.Chestermiller said:What is your force balance on each of the masses at some arbitrary time?
This answer doesn't seem to relate to my question at all. Please write down for us the force balance equations you derived to solve this problem.jha192001 said:Yes Ofcourse as per the question it clearly seems it will.
But please don't say it will be the maximum elongation when force balances cause it will not.
Have you considered changing to a frame of reference where the center of mass is at rest?jha192001 said:Idont know how to find the answer then as both masses won't stop consecutively
The "Elongation of a Spring in a Two Mass System" is a physical phenomenon that occurs when two masses are connected by a spring and one of the masses is pulled or pushed, causing the spring to stretch or compress. This results in a change in the length of the spring, known as elongation.
The elongation of a spring in a two mass system is affected by several factors, including the mass of the two objects, the stiffness of the spring, and the force applied to the spring. The elongation is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the stiffness of the spring.
The elongation of a spring in a two mass system can be calculated using Hooke's Law, which states that the force applied to a spring is directly proportional to the displacement or elongation of the spring. The equation for this is F = -kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the elongation of the spring.
Studying the elongation of a spring in a two mass system is important in understanding the behavior of springs and their applications in various fields such as engineering and physics. It can also help in designing and optimizing systems that use springs, such as suspension systems in vehicles and shock absorbers.
The elongation of a spring in a two mass system can be experimentally determined by measuring the displacement of the spring when a known force is applied. This can be done using a spring balance or a force sensor. The data collected can then be used to calculate the elongation and verify the relationship between force and elongation predicted by Hooke's Law.
