Question
A mass attached to a spring is free to oscillate, with angular velocity $\omega,$ in a horizontal plane without friction or damping. It is pulled to a distance $x_0$ and pushed towards the centre with a velocity $\upsilon_0$ at time t = 0. Determine the amplitude of the resulting oscillations in terms of the parameters $\omega,x_0$ and $υ_0$. [Hint: Start with the equation $\text{x}=\text{a}\cos(\omega\text{t}+\theta)$ and note that the initial velocity is negative.]

Answer

The displacement rquation for an oscillating mass is given by:$\text{x}=\text{A}\cos(\omega\text{t}+\theta)$
where,
A is the amplitude
x is the displacement
$\theta$ is the phase constant
Velcoity, $\text{v}=\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=-\text{A}\omega\sin(\omega\text{t}+\theta)$
At, $t = 0, x = x_0$
$\text{x}_0=\text{A}\cos\theta=\text{x}_0\ .....(\text{i})$
and, $\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}=-v_0=\text{A}\omega\sin\theta$
$\text{A}\sin\theta=\frac{v_0}{\omega}\ ....(\text{ii})$
Squaring and adding equations (i) and (ii), we get:
$\text{A}^2(\cos^2\theta+\sin^2\theta)=\text{x}_0^2+\Big(\frac{v_0^2}{\omega^2}\Big)$
$\therefore\ \text{A}=\sqrt{\text{x}_0^2+\Big(\frac{v_0}{\omega}\Big)^2}$
Hence, the amplitude of the resulting oscillation is $\text{x}_0^2+\Big(\frac{v_0}{\omega}\Big)^2.$

Mean solar day is the time interval between two successive noon when sun passes through zenith point (meridian). Sidereal day is the time interval between two successive transit of a distant star through the zenith point (meridian). By drawing appropriate diagram showing earth’s spin and orbital motion, show that mean solar day is four minutes longer than the sidereal day. In other words, distant stars would rise 4 minutes early every successive day.
