Question

A 0.415-kg mass suspended from a spring undergoes simpleharmonic oscillations with a period of 1.4 s. How much mass, inkilograms, must be added to the object to change the period to2.2 s?

Answer 1

Answer:

m=0.893kg

Explanation:

time period of oscillations is given by= 2π√(m/k)

m: mass of the object

k: spring constant

when T=1.5 and m=0.415

1.5= 2π√(0.415/k)

k= 7.27 N/m

when T= 2.2s

2.2= 2π√(m/7.27)

m=0.893kg
