Question

Problem 2. (25 pts) The 2-kg disk rests on a smooth horizontal surface and is attached to an elastic cord that has a stiffness $k_\theta = 20$ N/m and is initially unstretched. If the disk is given an initial velocity $(v_\theta)_i = 1.5$ m/s in the transverse direction, determine a) the radial component of the velocity of the disk at the instant the cord is stretched 0.2 m. b) the magnitude of the velocity of the disk at the instant the cord is stretched 0.2 m.

Step 1

2 m, we need to consider the conservation of energy. The elastic potential energy stored in the cord is given by the equation: Elastic potential energy = (1/2)kx^2 where k is the stiffness of the cord and x is the displacement of the cord. In this case, the Show more…
