Question 7 |
In the figure shown, the spring deflects by \delta to position A ( the equilibrium position) when a mass m is kept on it. During free vibration, the mass is at position B at some instant. The change in potential energy of the spring-mass system from position A to position B is

Question 7 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \Delta(P E) &=(P E)_{B}-(P E)_{A} \\ &=\frac{1}{2} k(x+\delta)^{2}+0-\left[\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}+m g x\right] \end{aligned}
Taking reference datum at position B.
At equilibrium position i.e., at A.
\begin{array}{c} m g=\mathrm{k} \delta \\ \Delta(P E)=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}+x k \delta-\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}-m g x\\ \text{as }\quad m g=k \delta\\ \Delta(P E)=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}+m g x-\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}-m g x\\ =\frac{1}{2} k x^{2} \end{array}
Taking reference datum at position B.
At equilibrium position i.e., at A.
\begin{array}{c} m g=\mathrm{k} \delta \\ \Delta(P E)=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}+x k \delta-\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}-m g x\\ \text{as }\quad m g=k \delta\\ \Delta(P E)=\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}+m g x-\frac{1}{2} k \delta^{2}-m g x\\ =\frac{1}{2} k x^{2} \end{array}
