Irodov Problem 4.23


The figure depicts the manner in which the mass m undergoes longitudinal oscillations in the spring. As the mass m is moves to the right, the right part of the spring is compressed while the left part of the spring expands. Thus, the left side of the spring pulls the mass to the left and the right part of the spring pushes the mass to the left.

The spring is an elastic material and follows the Young's law. In other words, if the Young's modulus of the springs material is , its area of cross section is A, then for any section of the spring we have,



Let us first consider the entire spring. Lets its length be l0. Then, the restoring force resulting from a compression of is given by,



Hooke's law for springs says that,



Comparing (2) and (3) we have,



Now let us consider what happens when the mass m is pushed a distance x to the right.

The left part of the spring is expanded by an amount x. Since the length of the left part of the spring is , the restoring force for this part of the spring can be computed using (2) as,



The right part of the spring is compressed by an amount x. Since the length of the right part of the spring is , the restoring force for this part of the spring can be computed using (2) as,



Thus the net restoring force acting on the particle will be,



From (7) it is clear that, the particle is undergoing simple harmonic motion with,

  1. Increased adoption of the systems approach to biological research has focussed attention on the use of quantitative models of biological objects. This includes a need for realistic 3D representations of plant shoots for quantification and modelling. Previous limitations in single or multi view stereo algorithms have led to a reliance Ray Ban Outlet on volumetric methods or expensive hardware to record plant structure.

    In this study, the application New Jordan Shoes 2020 of the thermal chair was analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and field test analysis in an open plan office in Leeds, UK during winter. Yeezy Boost 350 The results Ray Ban Glasses of the CFD model Yeezy Discount indicated an Coach Outlet improvement in the local thermal comfort of the user. The CFD analysis provided detailed analysis of the thermal distribution around a siting Coach Handbags Clearance manikin Coach Outlet Store and was used to design and construct the thermal chair.
