AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the maximum velocity of a mass in a mass-spring system using the equation V = ωA, where ω is the angular frequency and A is the amplitude. The displacement is given as x(t) = (0.120 m) sin(1.73 t), indicating an angular frequency of 1.73 rad/s and an amplitude of 0.120 m. The maximum velocity is calculated to be 0.208 m/s, which corresponds to option D. Participants express gratitude for the assistance received throughout the semester. Understanding the relationship between angular frequency and amplitude is emphasized for solving such problems.

Homework Statement


The displacement of the mass in a mass-spring system is given by the expression x(t) =(0.120 m) sin(1.73 t). What is the maximum velocity of the mass?*

A.* 0.348 m/s

B.* 0.307 m/s

C.* 0.256 m/s

D.* 0.208 m/s

E.* 0.175 m/s*



Homework Equations


V=omegaA



The Attempt at a Solution



I'm guess that's the equation I need to use because the answer is .208 m/s but I don't understand how that works. because one value is the period and the other is the amplitude for that equation to work i need the angular frequency?

You can view the equation as x(t) = d*sin(ωt) = d*sin(2πft) where d is the maximum displacement, ω is the angular velocity, f is the angular frequency. In this case, ω = 1.73 rad/s.
 
that makes sense. You guys have been really great this semester and I really appreciate the help.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging 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...
