An Atwood machine has masses m1 and m2
(m2 > m1) connected by an ideal rope of length ℓ of
negligible mass through a pulley of radius r with negligible mass and frictionless. Determine:
a) The acceleration of the system as a function of time;
b) The speed of the system as a function of time;
c) The equation of motion as a function of time.
A body of mass m is attached to the end of a spring with constant k, resting on a
horizontal frictionless surface. The other end of the spring is fixed at a wall. The body is moved away
from the equilibrium position, and the body is released. Determine the equation of motion of the body.
