PLEASE dont copy from anywhere ANSWER PART C only
A block of mass m is traveling to the right on a smooth horizontal surface with a speed of v. A spring
of stiffness k and damper with damping constant c are attached between the block and a massless
support. The support then strikes a stationary wall, at which point the support sticks to the wall for
all subsequent time. The coordinate x describes the motion of the block as measured from the
position of the block at the instant the support first contacts the wall.
a) Derive the equation of motion for the block after the support sticks to the wall in terms of x.
b) If k=500Nm and c=40Nsm, determine the mass of the block if the system has a
damping ratio of 0.10(10% damping) after sticking to the wall.
c) If v=50ms, determine the maximum force required to prevent the support from pulling
away from the wall after sticking by completing the following steps:
i. Write out the solution, x(t), for the equation of motion.
ii. If you didn't already do so in part i , apply the initial conditions and solve for C and S .
iii. Plot the solution and indicate on the plot the point in time at which the maximum
required force occurs. (You'll need to think about where the components of the system
are at each moment in time.) Include the plot or a sketch of the plot in the solution you
submit.
iv. Determine the x-value for the point in time you identified in part iii. (You can either do
this by solving for the exact value or by just picking the point off your plot.)
v. Use the value you found in part iv to determine the force. (If you're stuck, try drawing
an FBD for that specific point in time.)
