Statement

2.1.59. A weight of mass , attached by a spring of stiffness to an axis, moves around this axis in a circle of radius with an angular velocity . What is the length of the undeformed spring?

Solution

Forces acting on the weight
Forces acting on the weight

We write Newton's second law for the weight, considering the elastic force of the spring :

Let's express through the length of the undeformed spring :

Let's find the centripetal acceleration through the angular velocity of rotation :

Substitute this into (1):

From which we find :
