A mass weighing 16 pounds is attached to a spring, stretching it 8 inches. A damping mechanism provides a resistance numerically equal to 6 times the instantaneous velocity. Initially, the mass is released from equilibrium with a downward velocity of 2 feet per second. Find the equation of motion. b. Determine if the system is underdamped, critically damped, or overdamped.

A uniform annular ring of mass m and inner and outer radii a and b, respectively, is pivoted around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ring at point P (Fig. P16.35). Determine its period of oscillation. FIGURE P16.35
In the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39

A restaurant manager has decorated his retro diner by hanging (scratched) vinyl LP records from thin wires. The records have a mass of 180 g, a diameter of 12 in., and negligible thickness. The records oscillate as torsion pendulums. a. Records hung from a small hole near their rims have a period of roughly 3.5 s (Fig. P16.41A). What is the torsion spring constant of the wire? b. If a record is hung from its center hole using a wire of the same torsion spring constant (Fig. P16.41B), what is its period of oscillation? FIGURE P16.41
The equations listed in Table 2.2 give position as a function of time, velocity as a function of time, and velocity as a function of position for an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. The quantity vxi appears in every equation. (a) Do any of these equations apply to an object moving in a straight line with simple harmonic motion? (b) Using a similar format, make a table of equations describing simple harmonic motion. Include equations giving acceleration as a function of time and acceleration as a function of position. State the equations in such a form that they apply equally to a blockspring system, to a pendulum, and to other vibrating systems. (c) What quantity appears in every equation?
