An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs as far as vertical oscillations are concerned. The sprin

gs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of 3.27 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1140 kg and the mass is evenly distributed over the springs? (b) What will be the oscillation frequency if five passengers, averaging 68.0 kg each, ride in the car with an even distribution of mass?

Answer:

a) 120341 N/m

b) 1.432 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of oscillations of spring, F = 3.27 Hz

Mass of the car, m = 1140 kg

Average mass of passengers, M = 68 kg

The mass on each spring,

m = 1/4 m,

m = 1140 / 4

m = 285 kg

The spring constant on each spring, k is

ω = √(k/m), also,

ω = 2πf, so that

2πf = √(k/m)

If we square both sides, then

4π²f² = k/m

k = 4π²f²m if we substitute, we have

k = 4 * 3.142² * 3.27² * 285

k = 120341 Nm

Since the mass of each person is 68 kg, then the total mass of all passengers would be

68 * 5 = 340 kg

Thus, the total mass of the oscillating system is,

mass of passengers + mass of car

340 kg + 1140 kg

M(total) = 1480 kg

To get the vibrating frequency, we substitute for values in the equation

2πf = √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(120341 / 1480)

F = 1/2π * √81.31

F = 0.1591 * 9

F = 1.432 Hz

How do you calculate mass using Newton’s 2nd Law?
deff fn [24]
The 2nd Law says F=ma, where F is the force in Newtons, m is mass and a is acceleration.  Earth's gravity is an acceleration, 9.8m/s^2.  So you can solve the equation for mass, m=F/a, or m=F/9.8 where you've measured the force (weight) in Newtons.

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The Gravitational Force is reduced 4 times

Explanation:

The equation of Gravitational force follows:

F = (G*m1*m2)/r^2

Assume that G*m1*m2 = 1 and r = 1:

F = 1/1^2 = 1 N

Multiply the radius by 2

F = 1/2^2 = 1/4 N

So doubling the distance reduces the force 4 times.

The layer of earth that has the lightest elements is the
Sonja [21]
If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

What is required for equilibrium to exist

They need to touch each other. Equilibrum, is when two things touch that arent the same heat, once they touch, they are equal in temperature, so they need to touch. hope i helped :D
