I know this question has already been asked, but the given answer di not help me. Hopefully someone can post their full solution?
A piston of mass 4.53(kg) is traveling in a tube with a velocity of 15.24(m/s). It engages a spring of stiffness 350 (N/cm) and a damper with a coefficient of 1.75 (N.s/cm)
What is the maximum displacement of the piston and how long does it take to reach this point?
F= -kx
where
x is the displacement vector - the distance and direction in which the spring is deformed
F is the resulting force vector - the magnitude and direction of the restoring force the spring exerts
k is the spring constant or force constant of the spring.
velocity=displacement/time
Damping : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damping
I have the solutions, Max. Displacement = 128.6(mm), Time Taken = 0.0157(s). I am stuggling to find a link between the known data and the displacement. Hope you can help
