A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 330 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret
1 answer:
Answer:
a)32.34 N/m
b)10cm
c)1.6 Hz
Explanation:
Let 'k' represent spring constant
'm' mass of the object= 330g =>0.33kg
a) in order to find spring constant 'k', we apply Newton's second law to the equilibrium position 10cm below the release point.
ΣF=kx-mg=0
k=mg / x
k= (0.33 x 9.8)/ 0.1
k= 32.34 N/m
b) The amplitude, A, is the distance from the equilibrium (or center) point of motion to either its lowest or highest point (end points). The amplitude, therefore, is half of the total distance covered by the oscillating object.
Therefore, amplitude of the oscillation is 10cm
c)frequency of the oscillation can be determined by,
f= 1/2π
f= 1/2π
f= 1.57
f≈ 1.6 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 1.6 Hz

The general formula to calculate the work is:
where F is the force, d is the displacement of the couch, and is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement. Let's apply this formula to the different parts of the problem.
(a) Work done by you: in this case, the force applied is parallel to the displacement of the couch, so and
, therefore the work is just equal to the product between the horizontal force you apply to push the couch and the distance the couch has been moved:
(b) work done by the frictional force: the frictional force has opposite direction to the displacement, therefore and
. Therefore, we must include a negative sign when we calculate the work done by the frictional force:
(c) The work done by gravity is zero. In fact, gravity (which points downwards) is perpendicular to the displacement of the couch (which is horizontal), therefore and
: this means
.
(d) Work done by the net force:
The net force is the difference between the horizontal force applied by you and the frictional force:
And the net force is in the same direction of the displacement, so and
and the work done is
