The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the vertical displacement of the plank with the mass on it, given by the equation: \[ y = \sin(\omega t) + \sqrt{3} \cos(\omega t) \] ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation in a standard form We can express the equation in a more recognizable form by combining the sine and cosine terms. We can use the identity for sine of a sum: \[ y = A \sin(\omega t + \phi) \] where \( A \) is the amplitude and \( \phi \) is the phase angle. To find \( A \) and \( \phi \), we calculate: - \( A = \sqrt{1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \) - \( \tan(\phi) = \frac{\text{coefficient of } \sin}{\text{coefficient of } \cos} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \Rightarrow \phi = 30^\circ \) or \( \frac{\pi}{6} \) radians. Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ y = 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) \] ### Step 2: Determine the conditions for the mass to lose contact with the plank The mass will lose contact with the plank when the normal force \( N \) becomes zero. The forces acting on the mass are: - Weight \( mg \) acting downwards. - Normal force \( N \) acting upwards. Using Newton's second law, we have: \[ N - mg = ma \] where \( a \) is the acceleration of the mass. When the mass just loses contact, \( N = 0 \), thus: \[ -mg = ma \] \[ a = -g \] ### Step 3: Relate acceleration to the motion of the plank The acceleration \( a \) of the mass is given by the second derivative of the displacement \( y \): \[ a = \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = -\omega^2 y \] At the point of losing contact, we have: \[ -\omega^2 y = -g \] Substituting \( y \) at its maximum value (which is the amplitude \( A = 2 \)): \[ \omega^2 \cdot 2 = g \] \[ \omega^2 = \frac{g}{2} \] \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{2}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the minimum value of \( \omega \) Using \( g \approx 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \): \[ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2}} = \sqrt{4.9} \approx 2.21 \, \text{rad/s} \] ### Step 5: Determine the time when the mass first loses contact To find the time \( t \) when the mass first loses contact, we set \( y \) equal to the maximum amplitude: \[ y = 2 \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = 2 \] This occurs when: \[ \sin\left(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{6}\right) = 1 \] The first occurrence of this happens at: \[ \omega t + \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{2} \] \[ \omega t = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{3\pi}{6} - \frac{\pi}{6} = \frac{2\pi}{6} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] Thus: \[ t = \frac{\pi/3}{\omega} = \frac{\pi/3}{\sqrt{4.9}} \] Calculating \( t \): \[ t \approx \frac{1.047}{2.21} \approx 0.474 \, \text{s} \] ### Final Answers - The minimum value of \( \omega \) is approximately \( 2.21 \, \text{rad/s} \). - The time \( t \) when the mass first loses contact is approximately \( 0.474 \, \text{s} \).
