Differential Equations Homework for 3.7

Homework for 3.7 1. For practice with trig, 3.7.1-3.7.4, also given below. In each case, write the sum as R cos(ωt − δ) 3.7.1 3 cos(2t) + 4 sin(2t) SOLUTION: For each of these, think of A cos(2t)+B sin(2t) as defining a complex number A + iB. Then R is the magnitude and δ is the angle for A + iB. In this particular case, we see that (A, B) is in Quadrant I, so δ does not need an extra π added to it: R= √ 9 + 16 = 5 δ = tan−1 (4/3) ⇒ 3 cos(2t) + 4 sin(2t) = 5 cos(2t − tan−1 (4/3)) √ 3.7.2 − cos(t) + 3 sin(t) √ SOLUTION: Note that in this case, (−1, 3) is in Quadrant II, so add √ π to δ. Also, notice that the angle δ is coming from a triangle with side 1, 2, 3 (or 30-60-90). In this case, R= √ 1+3= − cos(t) + √ √ 2 √ δ = tan−1 (− 3) = −π/3 3 sin(t) = 2 cos(t − (2π/3)) 3.7.3 4 cos(3t) − 2 sin(3t) SOLUTION: In this case, (4, −2) is coming from Quadrant IV, so no need to add π to δ. We don’t have a special triangle in this case. √ √ 16 + 4 = 2 5 δ = tan−1 (−1/2) √ 4 cos(3t) − 2 sin(3t) = 2 5 cos(t − tan−1 (−1/2)) R= 3.7.4 −2 cos(πt) − 3 sin(πt) SOLUTION: In this case (−2, −3) is in Quadrant III, so we’ll need to add π to δ. √ √ R = 4 + 9 = 13 −1 δ = tan 3 +π 2   2. Practice with the Model (metric system): (a) A spring with a 3-kg mass is held stretched 0.6 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 20 N. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position but a push gives it an initial velocity of 1.2 m/s, find the position of the mass after t seconds (assume no damping). 1 SOLUTION: m = 3, γ = 0, so we just need the spring constant k. By Hooke’s Law, the force is proportional to the length stretched: ⇒ k(0.6) = 20 k= 100 3 Now we have the IVP: 3u00 + 100 u=0 3 u(0) = 0, u0 (0) = 6 5 To solve this, s 100 =0 3r2 + 3 The general solution is r= 10 100 i= i 9 3 10 10 C1 cos t + C2 sin t 3 3     Putting in the initial conditions, (b) A spring with a 4-kg mass has a natural length of 1 meter, and is maintained stretched to a length of 1.3 m by a force of 24.3 N. If the spring is compressed to a length of 0.8 m and then released with zero velocity, find the position of the mass after t seconds (assume no damping). SOLUTION: m = 4, γ = 0, and the wording of the question implies that the spring is stretched 0.3 m beyond natural length, giving (convert to fractions) 243 3k = 10 10 ⇒ k = 81 Therefore, we have (recall that “up” is negative) 4u00 + 81u = 0 Now solve u00 + 81 u 4 u(0) = − 4 5 u0 (0) = 0 = 0:  u(t) = C1 cos 9 9 t + C2 sin t ) 2 2    Solving for the constants, you should get C1 = −4/5, C2 = 0. (c) A spring with a mass of 2 kg has damping constant 14 and a force of 6 N is required to keep the spring stretched 0.5 m beyond its natural length. The spring is then stretched to 1 m beyond its natural length and released. Find the position of the mass at any time t. SOLUTION: m = 2, γ = 14 and for the spring constant, we have: k =6 2 2 ⇒ k = 12 The IVP is: 2u00 + 14u0 + 12u = 0, with u(0) = 1 and u0 (0) = 0 6 1 u(t) = − e−6t + e−t 5 5 (d) A spring with a mass of 3 kg has a damping constant 30 and spring constant 123. Find the position of mass at time t if it starts at equilibrium with a velocity of 2 m/s. SOLUTION: 3u00 + 30u0 + 123u = 0 u(0) = 0 u0 (0) = 2 Solving, (divide everything by 3 first) we get u(t) = 12 e−5t sin(4t). (e) For the spring model above with a mass of 4 kg, find the damping constant that would produce critical damping. SOLUTION: 4u00 + γu0 + 123u = 0 √ For critical damping, γ 2 − 4(4)(123) = 0, so that γ = 4 123 (only take the positive root!) (f) A mass of 20 grams stretches a spring 5 cm. Suppose tha the mass is attached to a viscous damper with a constant damping constant of 400 dyn-s/cm (note: a dyne is a unit of force using centimeters-grams- seconds for units). If the mass is pulled down an additional 2 cm then released, find the IVP that governs the motion of the mass. (Calculator needed- g should be taken as 980). SOLUTION: In this case, the spring is stretched to equilibrium: mg − kL = 0 ⇒ (20)(980) − k(5) = 0 ⇒ k = 3920 Therefore, the DE is: 20u00 + 400u0 + 3920u = 0 u(0) = 2, u0 (0) = 0 (Note that we could divide everything by 20 to make it a bit easier). (g) Suppose we consider a mass-spring system with no damping (the damping constant is then 0), so that the differential equation expressing the motion of the mass can be modeled as mu00 + ku = 0 Find value(s) of β so that A cos(βt) and B sin(βt) are each solutions to the homogeneous equation (for arbitrary values of A, B). SOLUTION: β = q k m 3. Practice with the model (in pounds, from the text) 3 (a) A mass weighing 4 lb stretches a spring 2 in. Suppose that the mass is displaced an additional 6 in the positive direction and released. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 6 lb when the mass has a velocity of 3 ft/s. Formulate the IVP that governs the motion of the mass. ( Hint: All units should be consistent. When working with US units, use pounds, feet and seconds.) SOLUTION: This is Example 1, Section 3.7. For mass, mg = 4, so m= 4 1 4 = = g 32 8 We assume that the damping force is proportional to the velocity, so what is given translates to: 6 = γu0 = γ(3) ⇒ γ = 2 And the spring constant: Change inches into feet so that units are consistent, and mg − kL = 0 ⇒ 4−k 2 =0 12 ⇒ k = 24 Now we have 1 00 1 u + 2u0 + 24u = 0 u(0) = u0 (0) = 0 8 2 (b) A mass weighing 2 lb stretches a spring 6 in. If the mass is pulled down an additional 3 in and then released, and if there is no damping, determine the IVP that governs the motion of the mass. (You might re-read the hint for (1)) SOLUTION: (Exercise 5, 3.7) From what’s given, mg = 2 and mg − kL = 2 − k/2 = 0, so m = 2/32 = 1/16 and k = 4: 1 1 00 u + 4u = 0 u(0) = u0 (0) = 0 16 4 (c) (Repeat of 1(f)) (d) A mass weighing 8 lbs stretches a spring 23 in. The mass is attached to a damper with coefficient γ. Find γ so that the spring is underdamped, critically damped, overdamped. SOLUTION: mg = 8, so m = 8/32 = 1/4. Further, 8− 3k =0 24 ⇒ The model is then: k = 64 1 00 u + γu0 + 64u = 0 4 The discriminant in the quadratic formula is γ 2 − 4mk = γ 2 − 64: • If γ > 8, then OVERDAMPED. • If γ = 8, then CRITICALLY DAMPED. • If 0 ≤ γ < 8, then UNDERDAMPED. 4
