Answer:
T=0.372 s, f=2.7 Hz, w=16.9 rad/s, k=179.2 N/m, v= 8.78 m/s, F= 48.4 N
Explanation:
a.)
Period: It is already given in the question "oscillator repeats its motion every 0.372 s".
So T=0.372 s
b)
frequency= f = 1/ T
f = 1/ 0.372
f=2.7 Hz
c).
Angular frequency= w= 2πf
w= 2*π*2.7
w=16.9 rad/s
d)
Spring Constant:
As w=
⇒w²= k/m
⇒k= m*w²
⇒k= 0.628 * 16.9² N/m
⇒k=179.2 N/m
e)
The mass will have maximum speed when it passes through the mean position.
At mean position
Maximum elastic potential energy = Maximum kinetic energy
1/2 k A² = 1/2 m v² ( A is amplitude of oscillation)
⇒ v=
⇒ v= \
⇒ v= 8.78 m/s
f)
Maximum force will be exerted on the block when it is at maximum distance.
F= k* A ( A is amplitude of oscillation)
F= 179.2 * 0.27 N
F= 48.4 N
