Question

A platform oscillates in the vertical direction with SHM. Its amplitude of oscillation is 0.20 m. What is the maximum frequency (Hz) of oscillation for a mass placed on the platform to remain in contact with the platform?

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum frequency is 1.114 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.20 m

We need to calculate the maximum frequency

Using formula of frequency

$f_{max}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{g}{a}}$

Where, a = amplitude

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

$f_{max}=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{9.8}{0.20}}$

$f_{max}=1.114\ Hz$

Hence, The maximum frequency is 1.114 Hz.
