A 20-kilogram mass is attached to a spring. If the frequency of simple harmonic motion is 2/p cycles/s, what is the spring constant k? What is the frequency of simple harmonic motion if the original mass is replaced with an 80-kilogram mass?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequency of a mass-spring system is:

f = √(k/m) / (2π)

Given f = 2/π Hz and m = 20 kg:

2/π Hz = √(k / 20 kg) / (2π)

4 Hz = √(k / 20 kg)

16 s⁻² = k / 20 kg

k = 320 kg/s²

k = 320 N/m

If the 20 kg mass is replaced with an 80 kg mass, the frequency is:

f = √(320 kg/s² / 80 kg) / (2π)

f = √(4 s⁻²) / (2π)

f = 2 Hz / (2π)

f = 1/π Hz

The sprint constant is 320 N/m

And, the frequency is [tex]1\div \pi Hz[/tex]

Calculation of the spring constant & the frequency:

Since A 20-kilogram mass is attached to a spring. And, the frequency of simple harmonic motion is 2/p cycles/s.

Now we know that

[tex]f = \sqrt (k\div m) \div (2\pi)[/tex]

Here

[tex]f = 2\div \pi Hz[/tex]

and m = 20 kg:

So,

[tex]2\div \pi Hz = \sqrt (k \div 20 kg) / (2\pi)\\\\4 Hz = \sqrt(k \div 20 kg)\\\\16 s^{-2} = k \div 20 kg[/tex]

k = 320 kg/s²

k = 320 N/m

Now the frequency is:

[tex]f = \sqrt(320 kg/s^2 \div 80 kg) \div (2\pi)\\\\f = √(4 s^{-2}) \div (2\pi )\\\\f = 2 Hz \div (2\pi)[/tex]

[tex]f = 1\div \pi Hz[/tex]
