A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity , in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance and pushed towards the centre with a velocity at time . Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters , and .
Solution:
Let the displacement of the particle at any time t be represented by ...(i) where A = amplitude, initial phaseIf be the velocity of the particle at time t, Then
...(ii)
At and By putting t = 0, from (i) and (ii), we get, Equation (iii) shows that initial velocity is negative. Squaring on both sides of equation (iii), we get ; © examsnet.com
