The frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator such as a spring-mass system is given by
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.
Re-arranging the formula, we get:
and since we know the constant of the spring:
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
we can find the value of the mass attached to it:
where
k is the spring constant
m is the mass attached to the spring.
Re-arranging the formula, we get:
and since we know the constant of the spring:
and the frequency of oscillation:
f=1.00 Hz
