SHM HELP

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Aravind, write out your problem. Use the equation editor if needed.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

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??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so there is no damping force?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m x'' + k x= f(t)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I don't think he wants the DE's

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ya i am only in high scool

OpenStudy (aravindg):

options: a)1/pi b)2pi/7 c)7 d) 1/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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]

OpenStudy (jamesj):

Yes, period \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k} \] So you need to know the spring constant k and the mass m.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

how??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

only this much info in qn

OpenStudy (aravindg):

pls try there must be a way use .2 m

OpenStudy (jamesj):

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.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wow thx i hav some more qns dont go away

OpenStudy (aravindg):

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??

OpenStudy (jamesj):

If the original spring had constant k, what is the spring constant of the new springs?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

k/4???

OpenStudy (jamesj):

yes. now you figure out what that does to your T. Use the formula \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k} \]

OpenStudy (aravindg):

2T RYT??

OpenStudy (aravindg):

:)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yep

OpenStudy (aravindg):

NEXT ONE

OpenStudy (aravindg):

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??
