In Figure 15-31, two springs are attached to a block that can oscillate over a frictionless floor. If the left spring is removed, the block oscillates at a frequency of 30 Hz. If, instead, the spring on the right is removed, the block oscillates at a frequency of 45 Hz. At what frequency does the block oscillate with both springs attached?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The block will oscillate at the frequency54 Hz with both springs attached.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

1) When the left spring is removed block oscillates at f1=30Hz

2) When the right spring is removed block oscillates atf2=45Hz

02

Understanding the concept of Newton’s second law of motion

Newton鈥檚 second law can be stated as, the net force FNeton a body with a mass m is related to the body鈥檚 acceleration aby,

FNet=ma

Using the basic formula for acceleration in terms of displacement and Newton鈥檚 2nd law, we can findin terms the spring constant of the given two springs. From this, we can find the frequency for oscillations created by each spring, and after adding them, we can get the total frequency of the system.

Formula:

The angular frequency of an oscillation, =2f 鈥(颈)

The force constant of a spring, F=-kx 鈥(颈颈)

The force of a body in motion due to Newton鈥檚 law of motion,

F=ma 鈥(颈颈颈)

The general expression of displacement of the body,

03

Calculation of oscillation frequency

When the block is displaced fromthe equilibriumposition, the net force exerted on the left and right springs attached to the block using equation (ii) is given by:

F1=-k1xF2=-k2xFNet=F1+F2=-k1x-k2x.......................a

According to equation (iii), we get the equation (a) as:

ma=-k1x-k2x

md2xdt2=-k1x-k2xa=d2xdt2

role="math" localid="1657270444191" md2xmcost+dt2=-k1xmcoswt+-k2xmcost+mdxm-sint+dt=-xmcost+k1+k2m2xmcost+=-xmcosk1+k2m2=k1+k22=k1+k2m=k1+k2m

Using equation (i) and the given values, we get the frequency of oscillation as:

f=12k1+k2m

The single spring acting along will perform a simple harmonic motion and frequency is given to us for both sides of springs can be written as:

f1=12k1m=30Hzf2=12k2m=45Hz

The frequency at which the block will oscillate with both springs attached will be

f=f12+f22=30Hz2+45Hz2=900Hz2+2025Hz2=2925Hz2=54.08Hz54Hz

Hence, the value of frequency is found to be54Hz .

In Figure (15-49a), a metal plate is mounted on an axle through its center of mass. A spring with k=2000 N/mconnects a wall with a point on the rim a distance r=2.5 cmfrom the center of mass. Initially, the spring is at its rest length. If the plate is rotated by 7oand released, it rotates about the axle in SHM, with its angular position given by Figure (15-49b). The horizontal axis scale is set by ts=20 ms. What is the rotational inertia of the plate about its center of mass?
