Oscillation

Mabborang
Problem 1:
A 4 kg mass attached to a spring is observed to oscillate with a period of 2 seconds. What is
the period of oscillation if a 6 kg mass is attached to the spring?

T = 2Π
Implying that

k= = = 4Π2
Now that we have k, calculating the period for a different mass is easy:

T = 2Π = 2Π = = 2.45 seconds

Problem (1): A 0.50-kg object is attached to a horizontal spring whose spring constant is k=300 N/m
and undergoing a simple harmonic motion.
Find: (a) Period
(b) frequency
(c) angular frequency

a. Period

b. frequency (f=1/T)
c. Angular frequency is related to the frequency or period of oscillation as
Therefore,
