Question

A 0.430 kg mass is oscillating

Answer 1

The frequency is 198 Hz.

Answer:

Explanation:

Springs are having a oscillatory motion, so the frequency depends on the spring constant and mass of the object attached to the spring. It is known that the frequency of oscillation is directly proportional to the square root of spring constant and inversely proportional to the square root of mass of the object.

Frequency = $\sqrt{\frac{spring constant}{Mass} }$

As the spring constant is given as 85 N/m and the mass is given as 0.430 kg, then the frequency is

Frequency = $\sqrt{\frac{85}{0.430} }=198 Hz.$

So the frequency is 198 Hz.
