6. How could you double the maximum speed of a SHO?

9. A mass m hang from a spring with stiffines constant k. the spring is cut in half and the same mass
hung from it. will the new arrangement have a higher or a lower stiffness constanst than the original
spring ?

24. over the years buildings have been able to be built out of lighter and lighter material. How has this
affected the natural vibration frequencies of buildings and the problems of resonance due to passing
truck, airplanes or natural sources of vibration?

Hal 346.

8. (II) the water in a U- shaped tube is displaced an amount delta x from equilibrium. (the level in oone
side is 2 delta x above the level in the other side ) if friction is neglected, will the water oscillate
harmonically ? determine a formula for the equivalent of the spring constant k. does k depend on the
density of the liquid, the cross section of the tube, or the length of the water column?

Hal 347.

20. (III) a rectangular block of wood floats in a calm lake. Show that if friction is ignored, when the block
is pushed gently down into the water it will then vibrate with SHM also determine an equation for the
force constanst.
