SHM HELP
Aravind, write out your problem. Use the equation editor if needed.
1.When a mass m is attached to a spring it normally extends by 0.2 m .The mass m is given a slight additional extension and released ,then its time period is??
help
so there is no damping force?
m x'' + k x= f(t)
I don't think he wants the DE's
ya i am only in high scool
options: a)1/pi b)2pi/7 c)7 d) 1/7
x'' + k/m x= 0 r^2=- k/m complex root x= cos(Sqrt[k/m]t ) angular frequency = Sqrt[k/m] freqency= Sqrt[k/m]/2pi period= 2pi/ Sqrt[k/m]= 2pi Sqrt[m/k]
Yes, period \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k} \] So you need to know the spring constant k and the mass m.
how??
only this much info in qn
pls try there must be a way use .2 m
oh, ok, yes. If the system is at rest at 0.2 m, what can we say? We can say that the forces cancel: Spring force on mass = Gravitational force on mass kx = mg 0.2k = 9.8m => k/m = 9.8/0.2 = 49 Now use that to find your period.
wow thx i hav some more qns dont go away
20.A loaded spring vibrates with a period T .The spring is divided into 4 equal parts and the same load is suspended from one of these parts ,The new period is??
If the original spring had constant k, what is the spring constant of the new springs?
k/4???
yes. now you figure out what that does to your T. Use the formula \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k} \]
2T RYT??
:)
yep
NEXT ONE
21.A mass is suspended by 2 spring constants k1 and k2 connected in parallel as shown in fig The time period T of vibrations of M in vertical direction is??
