Certain springs are characterized by decreasing stiffness with increasing deformation according to the relation F = k1x
Question:
Certain springs are characterized by decreasing stiffness with increasing deformation according to the relation F = k1x ?? k2x3 , where F is the force exerted by the spring, 1 k and 2 k are positive constants, and x is theeflection of the spring measured from its undeformed position. Determine
(a) The potential energy Ve as a function of x,
(b) The maximum velocity of a particle of mass m attached to the spring and released from rest with x = x0 . Neglect friction.
F = k₁+k₂x³ F = k₁x-k₂x²

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
