Question

A 3 kg collar slides with frictionless along a vertical rod is shown in below Figure. The spring is under-formed when the collar A is at the same elevation as point O. The collar is released from rest at $y_1 = 0.4$ m. Determine the velocities of the collar as it first passes a) $y_2 = 0.0$ m, and b) $y_3 = -0.4$m

Step 1

First, let's determine the potential energy of the collar at y1 = 0.4 m. The potential energy is given by the equation PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the collar (3 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height (0.4 m). So, the Show more…

How to solve this question? Thank you. A 3 kg collar slides frictionlessly along a vertical rod as shown in the figure below. The spring is deformed when the collar A is at the same elevation as point O. The collar is released from rest at y1 = 0.4 m. Determine the velocities of the collar as it first passes ay = 0.0 m and by = -0.4 m. 500 N/m y = 0.4 m 0.5 m 0.3 m a) y2 = 0.0 m 0.3 1 - 0.4 m 0.5 b) ys = -0.4 m
