Recheck your arithmetic.

I have twice and i still get the same answer...where are you looking... or can you point it out because this questions has been driving me up the wall for almost two days. So if possible can you point out exactly where i went wrong because obviously you know that i know what i am doing.
 
I suspect you are dropping an [itex]\omega[/itex].
 
I don't believe i am...i am using the exact d(KE)/dt equation that i posted a few posts ago. So as far as i know i am not. What numeric value do you get.? If you choose to calculate it i will redo the question showing you exactly what i am doing.
 
1.06

cos(3.70)(1.06)=-0.710627
sin(3.70)(1.06)=-0.703568948

coswtsinwt=0.499975091

so now that i manipulate the d(KE)/dt i get:

KA^2wcoswtsinwt
A=0.0455 m
K=3.76 N/m

(3.76)(2.07025e-3)(3.70)(-0.710627)(-0.703568948)
=0.0143999 J/s
 
You are a good man DOC AI...a very good man

thank you so much for your help...i probably drove you up the wall with this question but you stood by me

truly a super mentor

:biggrin:
