Damian’s car weighs 2000kg. The spring has a natural unstretched length of 2m and a spring constant of k = 80000N/m. Hooke's law can be written as T = kd. Where T is the tension force in newtons, k is the spring constant and d is the length in metres. Let x(t) be the position of the front of Damian’s car and let y(t) be the position of the back of Eva’s 4WD. We will assume that the position of Eva’s car is a known function of time. Q1 a) Create a sketch of the positions of the vehicles similar to the one given and add the positions x and y. b) What is the extension of the spring in terms of x(t) and y(t)? Be careful to take into account that the unstretched length of the spring is 2m.
Please answer the following question A cigarettes dispenser requires a south African five-rand (R5) coin with a mass of 9.5 g to dispense one cigarette with a mass of 0.2 g. The design of such a cigarette dispenser is based on a helical spring, of negligible mass, which is found to extend 0.1 mm under a mass of 0.2 g. The spring can support a total mass of a coin. As the customer place money on the dispenser, the spring and coin system displace vertically through 4 mm and release. 1.1. Provide a schematic representation of the mass and spring system. 1.2. Calculate the frequency of natural vibration of the dispenser. 1.3. Determine the velocity of the coin when it is 2 mm below its resting position.

4. Consider a mass of 500 g placed at the end of a spring with stiffness constant 100 N/m and hanging at rest. The mass is displaced downward by 1.0 cm and released from rest. When the motion sets in, a time-varying force F(t) = cos³ 2t is applied to the spring-mass system. Solve the nonhomogeneous 2nd order differential equation representing the motion. That is, solve for x(t). [Note: Take the downward direction as the negative x-axis.]
