Hello my fellow scientists!
This is my first post on this forum, but most certainly not my last. I am relatively new to physics. I mean, i understand the basics. I would like to make it my hobby. You know, really find a passion for the physics. BTW, i am from the Netherlands, so please do not judge my grammer :)
1. Homework Statement
First, see the appendix.
If the springs are coupled with each other, Without the mass, the springs are at restposition. When the mass is applied between them the springs extend to a certain place.Thereafter a punch is applied to the mass in the X Direction.
I need to find the movement of the mass in both direction X and Y.
There is not much details given, i can fill this in for myself. Ofcourse i am assuming the simulation takes place on earth, with an acceleration g = 9,81m/s^2
Fs = Force Spring
Fg = Force Gravity
I have done this for a single spring/mass system under a angle of approximatly 45 degrees where a plate is also applied under an angle of 45 degrees so the mass doesn't fall straight down.
i am not sure which equations i need to apply. In this case. I need a start on this project so i can finish it on my own.
I am not sure where to begin in this project. I have done it before, but only with 1 spring and 1 mass under a 55 degree angle, with a bottom plate liniear to the spring and mass so the mass wouldn't fall straigt down.
But since there are 2 springs now its is a lot more complicated (in my opinion)
My question to you, can you please help me make a start on this project? I am not asking for you to solve this for me, but guide me trough it.
Thank you in advance!
