Textbook Question
Chapter 12.1, Problem 12.26P
A constant force P is applied to a piston and rod of total mass m to make them move in a cylinder filled with oil. As the piston moves, the oil is forced through orifices in the piston and exerts on the piston a force of magnitude kv in a direction opposite to the motion of the piston. Knowing that the piston starts from rest at t = 0 and x = 0, show that the equation relating x, v, and t, where x is the distance traveled by the piston and v is the speed of the piston, is linear in each of these variables.

(2) The brake mechanism used to reduce recoil in certain types of guns consists essentially of a piston which is attached to the barrel and may move in a fixed cylinder filled with oil. As the barrel
recoils with an initial velocity vo, the piston moves and oil is forced through orifices in the piston causing the piston and the barrel to decelerate at a rate proportional at a rate proportional to their
velocity, that is, a = -kv.
Express (a) v in terms of t,
(b) x in terms of t,
(c) v in terms of x.
