AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around five specific problems related to simple harmonic motion (SHM) that the user is struggling to solve. They have successfully calculated some values, such as mass and force, but are unsure how to proceed with the equations. The user has attempted to find maximum acceleration and position but has encountered errors in their calculations. Additionally, they express uncertainty regarding pendulums and plan to study that topic further. The forum guidelines suggest addressing a maximum of two questions per post for clarity.

5 SHM Problems i can't get :( HELP!

Okay so these are the last 5 problems that I'm stuck on... I've tried a lot and no success, if anyone can please show me the work on how to get them... I've tried all 4 and will explain what I did

1) I found the mass easily but do not know where to go from here...

2) This is my work and it was wrong
0.8kg (m) x 9.8m/s^2 (g) = F
7.84N = F
-----------------------------
F = kx
7.84N = 20N/m × x
7.84/20 = x
0.392 = x

3) I found A-max using A-max = w^2
Plugged that into the equation Acceleration = - Aw^2 sin (wt + ∅) to find t.
Then plugged t into X = Asin(wt+∅) to find it's position... both of which were incorrect

4) I found the positions successfully.. tried to plug those values into the given equation to
find time and no luck...

5) I'm not yet 100% with pendolums so i'll do a little more studying on this one

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any help on these would be greatly appreciated thank you all :)

Hello gf_24. Welcome to PF !

Please include at most, two questions/problems per post. (See the rules for this Forum.)
 


Let's do questions (1) and (2) in this thread. Please create another thread for the other questions.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
