Understand the Problem

The question appears to be related to engineering or physics, specifically involving the mathematical analysis of a damped spring system. It requires the application of differential equations and integration to derive a function x(t), considering initial conditions and previous equations.

Answer

The displacement is given by \( x(t) = \frac{W}{k_0} + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot t \).
Answer for screen readers

The function for the displacement ( x(t) ) is given by: $$ x(t) = \frac{W}{k_0} + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot t $$

Steps to Solve

  1. Substituting equations into (2) Substitute equations (5) and (6) into equation (2) to represent $ \dot{x}(t) $.

    This forms: $$ \dot{x}(t) = \left[0\right] + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} $$

  2. Integrating to find x(t) Integrate the result from the previous step with respect to time $ t $: $$ x(t) = \int \left(\frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0}\right) dt = \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot t + D $$ Here, $ D $ is the integration constant.

  3. Combining equations Recall equation (1) and substitute it into equation (4): $$ x(t) = x_1(t) + x_2(t) $$

  4. Applying initial conditions At the initial condition where $ t = 0^+ $, the damper does not move but the spring has already displaced. Substitute this condition into the integrated equation: $$ x(0) = \frac{W}{k_0} + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot 0 = \frac{W}{k_0} $$

  5. Final expression Hence, the full expression for $ x(t) $ at time $ t $ is: $$ x(t) = \frac{W}{k_0} + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot t $$

The function for the displacement ( x(t) ) is given by: $$ x(t) = \frac{W}{k_0} + \frac{W - T_0}{\eta_0} \cdot t $$

More Information

This equation models the displacement in a damped spring system, where:

  • ( W ) is the weight.
  • ( T_0 ) is the initial tension.
  • ( \eta_0 ) is the damping coefficient.
  • ( k_0 ) is the spring constant. This function combines the initial displacement of the spring with the effect of damping over time.

Tips

  • Misunderstanding when to apply initial conditions. Ensure that you clearly outline the conditions before substituting into equations.
  • Forgetting to include the integration constant ( D ) during integration, which can lead to incomplete solutions.
