Hi tiny-tim,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried the following equation setup:
E1spring=E2spring+E2kinetic
1/2kx12=1/2kx22+1/2mv2
I used F=kx to find x1 and x2 for mass 1+2 and mass 1.
I then tried the following formula to calculate how heigh the mass 1 went above the E2spring...
Hi,
I'm a mechanical engineer from Norway who has an work related query.
Please see the attached picture describing the problem.
I'm trying to figure out how heigh mass 1 travels if mass 2 is quick released when being suspended in a spring. I'm also trying to figure out a the maximum...
