Question
A spring with an mm-kg mass and a damping constant 9 (kg/s) can be held stretched 0.5 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 2.5 newtons. If the spring is stretched 1 meters beyond its natural length and then released with zero velocity, find the mass that would produce critical damping.

Answer:
4.05 kg
Explanation:
From Hooke’s law, force required to stretch the spring is represented as follows:
k (0.5) = 2.5
Spring Constant, k = 5
For critical damping, c² – 4mk =0
m = c² / 4 k
c= damping constant
m = Mass to produce critical damping
There fore, m = (9²/4*5)
= 81/20
= 4.05 kg
Therefore, the mass that would produce critical damping. = 4.05 kg
