what is the formula for m and k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

define m and k. what is the exact question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are given \[T=2\pi \sqrt{m/k}\] and we are going to find the formula for m and k

m is mass there and k is spring constant. k is force per unit area. But tell me your exact question..may be then I can help you..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given the formula, we are tasked to find the formula for m, and k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. \[m = (T/2\pi)^2 k\] and \[k = (2\pi/T)^2 m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you arrive with this formula??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For m:\[T = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k}\] \[T/2\pi = \sqrt{m/k}\] Squaring both sides \[(T/2\pi)^2 = m/k\] So \[m = (T/2\pi)^2 k\] similarly for k.
