A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet.
(a) Determine the amplitude and period of motion if the mass is initially released from a point 1 foot above the equilibrium position with an upward velocity of 6 ft/s.
(b) How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?
Answer:
Period = seconds
8 cycles
Explanation:
A mass weighing 32 pounds stretches a spring 2 feet;
it implies that the mass (m) =
m=
= 1 slug
Also from Hooke's Law
2 k = 32
k =
k = 16 lb/ft
Using the function:
(because of the initial position being above the equilibrium position)
( as a result of upward velocity)
NOW, we have:
However;
means
also implies that:
Hence,
Period can be calculated as follows:
=
= seconds
How many complete cycles will the mass have completed at the end of 4 seconds?
At the end of 4 seconds, we have:
cycles
Answer:
The frequency is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The frequency of the tuning fork is
The beat period is
Generally the beat frequency is mathematically represented as
The beat frequency is also represented mathematically as
Where is the frequency of the piano
So
