Step by step solution

01

Stating the given data

  1. Mass of the body,m=0.500kg
  2. Amplitude of the oscillator,A=35cm or0.35m
  3. Time at which motion repeats itself,T=0.5s .

Understanding the concept of motion

Using the formula of the period, we can find the frequency of oscillations. Using the relation between angular velocity and frequency, we can find the angular frequency of the oscillations. Then using the relation between angular frequency and spring constant, we can find the spring constant.

Using the formula maximum of speed, we can find the maximum speed of the oscillations.

Using the formula of spring force, we can find the maximum force on the block from the spring.

The maximum speed of a body in oscillation,

vm=Ó¬xm......(iv)

The force applied on a spring,

Fm=kxm ......(v)

03

a) Calculation of period

Period of the oscillation is the time required to complete one oscillation.

Therefore, the period of the oscillation is T=0.500s, because the motion repeats every 0.500s.

04

b) Calculation of frequency

Using equation (i) and T=0.500s, we get the frequency of oscillation as

f=10.500s=2.00Hz

Therefore, the frequency of oscillations is 2.00Hz.

05

c) Calculation of angular frequency

Using equation (ii) and f=2.00Hz, we get the angular frequency of oscillation as,

Ó¬=2Ï€2.00Hz=12.56rad/s

Therefore, the angular frequency of oscillations is12.56rad/s .

06

d) Calculation of spring constant

Using equation (iii), we get the spring constant of oscillation as:

k=mÓ¬2

As

Ó¬=12.56rad/sand m=0.500kg

k=0.500kg12.6rads2=78.88N/m≈79.0 N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is 79.0N/m.

07

e) Calculation of maximum speed

Using equation (iv) and the given values, we get the velocity of oscillation as:

vm=12.56rads0.350m=4.396m/s≈4.40m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed is 4.40m/s.
08

f) Calculation of maximum force

Using equation (iv) and the given values, we get the velocity of oscillation as:

Fm=79.0Nm0.350m=27.65N

Therefore, the maximum force is27.65N
