Viscous Force

Two identical...

Question

Two identical springs of spring constant $K$ are attached to a block of mass m and to fixed supports as shown in figure. When the mass is displaced from equilibrium position by a distance x towards right, find the restoring force

Open in App

Solution

When the spring are in natural length net force on the block is zero.

$\sum {\to F}_{n e t} = 0$

When the mass is slightly displaced $x$ from mean position towards right, force equation will be

$F_{s} = - k x - k x = - 2 k x$

This is the net restoring force acting towards left.

Final Answer: $2 k x$ towards left

Q. A block \(B\) is attached to two unstretched springs \(S_1\) and \(S_2\) with spring constants \(k\) and \(4k\) respectively (see the figure I). The other ends are attached to the identical supports \(M_1\) and \(M_2\) which are not fixed to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible masses. There is no friction anywhere. The block \(B\) is displaced towards the wall \(1\) by a small distance \(x\) (see the figure II) and then released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance \(y\) towards the wall \(2\). The displacements \(x\) and \(y\) are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block \(B\). The ratio \(\dfrac{y}{x}\) is
