The assignment should contain 2 sections.
1- A text file wich contains the answers to the questions, tables of values for iterations requested and any graphs of the results.
2- The source code of your implementation, duly commented, and dependencies, if any. Any programming language will be accepted (C, C ++, Javascript, Python, Octave, R, etc.), but the student must indicate which one he used, what version and under what operating system it worked. Disable / comment all lines of the code that use external libraries to generate graphics.
1. The oscillator with sliding friction
The sliding friction oscillator is a harmonic oscillator modified, in which besides the elastic force ( Felas = – ) it also acts a sliding kinetic frictional force with the usual shape k = µmg .
In practice all mass-spring oscillators are of this type because there is always some friction between the mass and the surface where it slides.
Using Newton’s 2nd law, we can construct an equation differential for a mass-spring system with friction:
where sgn(v) is the signal function, defined by :
This function is necessary so that the frictional force always has opposite direction of speed.
Transforming acceleration and speed into derivatives, we get, after some handling of the expression and replacing the expression for the sliding kinetic friction, to :
The remaining variables in this expression are:
x,t : position of the mass (elongation) and time
m : mass value
µ : kinetic friction coefficient
g : gravitational constant
a)
Integrate the above damped oscillator equation using the Heun method for differential equations of second order. For this purpose, use (units: SI)
Initial conditions: 0, = 5, ( Note : |t=0 )
Parameters: µ = 0.2; m = 0.5; g = 9.8; k = 4
Step: ℎ = 0.1
Perform 120 iterations, i.e. from t = 0 to t = 12.
b) Change the parameter values according to the instructions below. Physically explain the change you noticed in system movement for each case.
µ = 0,1 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
m = 0,75 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
k = 6 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
c) Again keeping the remaining parameters as the same (a), now change the parameters below.
µ = 0,4 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
m = 2 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
k = 2 and other parameters equal to those of paragraph (a).
For these cases you will detect something strange from a certain
instant of time. This “something strange” is due to an error
(deliberate) in the formulation of the differential equation under study.
Which is the error and what happens physically in the instant of time the
from which instability is installed?
Extra Points : If you managed to understand what is happening with
(c), you can try to correct the given error in the differential equation.

$8How Our Dissertation Writing Service Works
First, you will need to complete an order form. It's not difficult but, if anything is unclear, you may always chat with us so that we can guide you through it. On the order form, you will need to include some basic information concerning your order: subject, topic, number of pages, etc. We also encourage our clients to upload any relevant information or sources that will help.
Complete the order formOnce we have all the information and instructions that we need, we select the most suitable writer for your assignment. While everything seems to be clear, the writer, who has complete knowledge of the subject, may need clarification from you. It is at that point that you would receive a call or email from us.
Writer’s assignmentAs soon as the writer has finished, it will be delivered both to the website and to your email address so that you will not miss it. If your deadline is close at hand, we will place a call to you to make sure that you receive the paper on time.
