Question

A person exerts a 16-N force on a cart attached to a spring and holds the cart steady. The cart is displaces 0.060 meters from the equilibrium position. When the person starts holding the cart, the system (cart+spring) undergoes simple harmonic motion. Write an expression x(t) for the motion of the cart. Assume the freuency (f)=1 Hz.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.
