Can I Get Help Finding S2 1 (80.02 KiB) Viewed 54 times
ft Cylinder A has a weight of WA = 10 lb. It falls with an initial speed of (VA)= 5 The spring has an S unstretched/uncompressed length of 1.5 ft but is originally kept in compression by the di = 0.25 ft long cables attached to the platform. Hint: 1. The velocity of the cylinder at max spring compression = 0. 2. Neglect the mass of the platform and spring and any energy lost during the collision. А VA d2 d1 1 + S2
S2 Values for the figure are given in the following table. Note the figure may not be to scale. Variable Value d 0.25 ft d2 4.5 ft k 325 lb/ft Using the Principle of Work and Energy, a. Determine the initial compression of the spring, 81. b. Determine the final/max compression of the spring, 82.
