Status update
Jun 25, 2022 at 20:28 comment added insipidintegrator Thanks @J.Murray for taking the time to clear it up.
Jun 25, 2022 at 20:21 comment added J. Murray Yes, the acceleration will always be nonzero. $x$ is the distance covered, so it cannot be negative; clearly $-(\mu_0 + kx)g <0$ (until the disc comes to a stop).
Jun 25, 2022 at 20:15 comment added insipidintegrator @J.Murray I may come off as annoying, but pleaseeee confirm that even when the disc has started from a point (say A) with nonzero initial speed, there may be acceleration at A? I just feel silly asking this, but please confirm this for me.
Jun 25, 2022 at 20:03 comment added J. Murray When $x=0$, we have $a = -(\mu_0 + k\cdot 0 )g = -\mu_0 g\neq 0$. The equilibrium point will be at $x= -k/\mu_0$. You could use some concepts from SHM, but it would not be quite as simple as just doing the integral.
Jun 25, 2022 at 18:03 comment added insipidintegrator Ah….I see… At the expected mean position the acceleration is not 0 (as it should be in SHM). Or is it? Because we start from there. So at x=0, is a=0? @J.Murray can you please see if the question be solved via some SHM-concepts?
Jun 25, 2022 at 18:01 comment added insipidintegrator Uh… @J.Murray why would that affect any calculations? It doesn't change $\omega$
Jun 25, 2022 at 17:58 comment added J. Murray You're right that the equation of motion is kinda SHM-like, but your analysis seems to proceed as though it is exactly SHM. What happened to the $\mu_0$ term?
