Answer:
a) m_v = m_s (()² - 1) , b) m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g
Explanation:
a) The angular velocity of a simple harmonic motion is
w² = k / m
where k is the spring constant and m is the mass of the oscillator
let's apply this expression to our case,
silicon only
w₉² =
k = w₀² m_s
silicon with virus
w² =
k = w² (m_v + m_s)
in the two expressions the constant k is the same and q as the one property of the silicon bar, let us equal
w₀² m_s = w² (m_v + m_s)
m_v = ()² m_s - m_s
m_v = m_s (()² - 1)
b) let's calculate
m_v = 2.13 10⁻¹⁶ [()² - 1)]
m_v = 1.07 10⁻¹⁴ g
