Question

A platform oscillates in the vertical direction with SHM. Its amplitude of oscillation is 0.20 m. What is the maximum frequency (Hz) of oscillation for a mass placed on the platform to remain in contact with the platform?

Answer 1

Maximum frequency =
`f_(max)= 1.115`
`Hz`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given amplitude=A=0.20 m

Gravitational acceleration=9.81
`m/s^(2)`

Using equation of maximum frequency we have

`f_(max)=(1/2\pi)*√(g/A) \\`

substitute values,

`f_(max)=(1/2*3.14)*(√(9.82/0.20)`

Maximum frequency=
`f_(max)=1.115`
`Hz`
