Question

A mass attached to a spring oscillates and completes 51 full cycles in 35 s. What is the time period (in s) and frequency (in Hz) of this system?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.686s

Explanation: The period of oscillations for any periodic motion is given as

Period = time taken / number of oscillations.

For this question, time taken = 35s and number of cycles /oscillations =51

Period = 35/51 = 0.686 Hz
