Question

What is the period of oscillation of a mass 40kg on a spring with constant k=10N/m?

Answer 1

The period of oscillation of the system is 12.56 s

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a spring-mass system is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

where

m is the mass attached to the spring

k is the spring constant

For the system in this problem, we have

m = 40 kg

k = 10 N/m

Substituting into the equation, we find

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{40}{10}}=12.56 s$
