Introduction
Vibration
is a branch of science of engineering that deals with repetitive motion of mechanical system from machine parts to large structures An interplay between potential energy and kinetic energy
Note that while within the elastic limit of the spring the mass held at the other and causes a proportional elongation on the spring (Hookes Law)
Fx F=kx
Where k = spring constant (N/m) F = force exerted by spring (N) x = spring elongation/compression
Sample Problem
1. A block with mass of 5.0 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with spring constant k = 4.00 x 102 N/m. The surface the block rests upon is frictionless. If the block is pulled out to xi = 0.0500 m and released, a. Find the speed of the block at the equilibrium point b. Find the speed when x = 0.0250 m, and c. Repeat part (a) if friction acts on the block, with coefficient k = 0.150.
2. A block weighing 96.5 lbf is dropped from a height of 4ft upon a spring whose modulus is 100 lb / in. Calculate the total deflection of the spring.
Homework
1. A 50.0 kg acrobat drops from a height 2 meters straight down
onto a springboard with a force of constant 8.00 X 103 N/m, as shown. By what maximum distance does she compress the spring?

A 50kg block moves between vertical guides as shown. The block is pulled 40mm down from its equilibrium position and released. For each spring arrangement, determine the period of vibration, the maximum velocity and maximum acceleration of the block.
