Question

A spring-mass system has a spring constant k = 383 N/m, length of the spring L = 0.5 m, and the mass attached to it is M = 3.8 kg. What will be its frequency of oscillation if it is pulled by 5.0 cm from its equilibrium position and released?

Answer 1

Frequency = f = 10.0394 (1/s)

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of oscillation of the system is given by the action:

f= √(k/m)

f= system count

k = spring constant

m = mass connected to the spring

Therefore the frequency will be:

f= √(k/m) = √(383(N/m) / (3.8kg))= √( 100.7895 (kg×m/s²)/(kg ) =

= √( 100.7895 (1/s²) = 10.0394 (1/s)
