    Finding x(t) for a particle with force F(x)=kx

    Homework Statement A particle of mass m is subject to force F(x)=kx with K>0. The initial starting position is x0 and the initial speed is zero. Find x(t). Homework Equations F(x)=kx F=ma The Attempt at a Solution Honestly, I am totally lost on this. I've written acceleration as v(dv/dx)...

    Atwood machine: what mass M keeps the system stationary?

    Homework Statement In the Atwood’s machine, what should M be, in terms of m1 and m2, so that it doesn’t move? Homework Equations F=ma The Attempt at a Solution I've set T1=Mg as T1 is the tension of the rope attached to M. m1 and m2 are both connected together by the same rope so I assumed...
