A body of unknown mass is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 120 N/m. It is found to vibrate with a frequency of 6.00 Hz. Find (a) the period; (b) the angular frequency; (c) the mass of the body.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 120 N/m

Frequency of vibration, f = 6 Hz

Solution,

(a) Let T is the time period of the spring. The relation between the frequency and the time period is given by :

[tex]T=\dfrac{1}{f}[/tex]

[tex]T=\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex]

T = 0.167 s

(b) Let [tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular frequency. It is given by :

[tex]\omega=2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\omega=2\pi \times 6[/tex]

[tex]\omega=37.69\ rad[/tex]

(c) The relation between angular frequency and the spring constant is given by :

[tex]\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{k}{\omega^2}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{120}{(37.69)^2}[/tex]

m = 0.084 kg

or m = 84 grams

Therefore, it is the required solution.

Part(a): The period of vibration is [tex]0.167 s[/tex]

Part(b): The angular frequency of the vibration is [tex]37.68 rad/s[/tex]

Part(c): The mass of the body is 0.084 kg

Frequency of vibration:

The number of vibrations or oscillations made in one second is called the frequency of vibration.

Part(a):

Substitute the given value 6.00Hz in the equation [tex]T=\frac{1}{f}[/tex] we get,

[tex]T=\frac{1}{f} \\T=\frac{1}{6.00} \\T=0.167 s[/tex]

Part(b):

Substitute the given value 6.0Hz into the equation [tex]\omega =2\pi f[/tex]

[tex]\omega =2\pi(6.00)\\\omega=37.68 rad/sec[/tex]

Part(c):

Substitute the given value 12 N/m into the equation [tex]m=\frac{k}{\omega^2}[/tex] we get,

[tex]m=\frac{k}{\omega^2} \\m=\frac{120}{37.68} \\m=0.084 kg[/tex]
