When a 20 Ncan is hung from the bottom of a vertical spring, it causes the spring to stretch 20 cm .

  1. What is the spring constant?
  2. This spring is now placed horizontally on a frictionless table. One end of it is held fixed, and the other end is attached to a 5.0 Ncan. The can is then moved (stretching the spring) and released from rest. What is the period of the resulting oscillation?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The value of the spring constant is 1.0102N/m
  2. The period of oscillation of the system is 0.45 s

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  • The weight of the can is,w=20N
  • The displacement of the spring is, x=20 cm or 0.20 m
  • Weight of the another can is, W=5N

Understanding the concept of SHM

Hooke鈥檚 law states that when the pendulum is displaced from its equilibrium position, it is acted upon by a restoring force which is directly proportional to the displacement of the pendulum and always acts towards the equilibrium position.

Using Hooke鈥檚 law, we can find the value of the spring constant. Then using the formula for the period of oscillation for S.H.M we can find the period of oscillation of spring.

Formulae:

The restoring force of a spring, by Hooke鈥檚 law,

F=-Kx (i)

Here, F is restoring force, k is force constant, and x is displacement from the mean position.

The period of oscillation in S.H.M,

T=2Mk (ii)

Here, m is mass of the pendulum.

03

a) Calculation of the spring constant

Applying equation (i) to the given system, we can get the spring constant as:

w-kx=0k=wxk=20N0.20mk=1.0102N/m

Therefore, the value of the spring constant is k=1.0102N/m

04

b) Calculation of the period of oscillations

The mass of the 5N can is given as:

M=Wg=5N9.8m/s2=0.51kg

The period of oscillation of system is calculated by substituting the given values in equation (ii) as,

role="math" localid="1660979528272" T=2(3.142)0.51kg100N/m=0.45s

Therefore, the period of oscillation of system is 0.45 s.

A 1000 kgcar carrying four82kgpeople travel over a 鈥渨ashboard鈥 dirt road with corrugations" width="9">4.0mapart. The car bounces with maximum amplitude when its speed is 16 km/h. When the car stops, and the people get out, by how much does the car body rise on its suspension?

Although California is known for earthquakes, it has large regions dotted with precariously balanced rocks that would be easily toppled by even a mild earthquake. The rocks have stood this way for thousands of years, suggesting that major earthquakes have not occurred in those regions during that time. If an earthquake were to put such a rock into sinusoidal oscillation (parallel to the ground) with a frequency of2.2Hz, an oscillation amplitude of1.0cmwould cause the rock to topple. What would be the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the oscillation, in terms of g?
