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

The maximum frequency is 1.114 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.20 m

We need to calculate the maximum frequency

Using formula of frequency

`f_(max)=(1)/(2\pi)\sqrt{(g)/(a)}`

Where, a = amplitude

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

`f_(max)=(1)/(2\pi)*\sqrt{(9.8)/(0.20)}`

`f_(max)=1.114\ Hz`

Hence, The maximum frequency is 1.114 Hz.
