Question

A spring is connected between the 1-kg slider A and the frame. The spring has a stiffness of 5N/m and it is undeformed when x = 0.1m. Knowing that the frame is rotating in the horizontal plane about O at the constant angular
speed ˙ θ = 2 rad/s, determine the distance x. Neglect friction.

Horizontal plane
0.4 m
Transcribed Image Text:Horizontal plane 0.4 m
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Mass of the spring m=1kg

Stiffness of the spring k=5N/m

Undefeformed length =0.1m

angular velocity ω=2rad/s

undeformed when x=0.1m

Solution:

Centrifugal force acting on the slider F=mω2r=1×22×0.4=1.6N
