A mass attached to a horizontal spring oscillates at a frequency of . At , the mass is at and has . Determine:
The period.
The angular frequency.
The amplitude.
The phase constant.
The maximum speed.
The maximum acceleration.
The total energy.
The position at .
A mass hanging from a spring oscillates with a period of. Suppose the mass and spring are swung in a horizontal circle, with the free end of the spring at the pivot. What rotation frequency, in rpm, will cause the spring's length to stretch by ?
A solid sphere of mass and radius is suspended from a thin rod, as shown in
The sphere can swing back and forth at the bottom of the rod. Find an expression for the frequency of small angle oscillations.

A A compact car has a mass of . Assume that the car has one spring on each wheel, that the springs are identical, and that the mass is equally distributed over the four springs.
a. What is the spring constant of each spring if the empty car bounces up and down times each second?
b. What will be the car's oscillation frequency while carrying four passengers?
A molecular bond can be modeled as a spring between two
atoms that vibrate with simple harmonic motion. FIGURE P15.63
shows an SHM approximation for the potential energy of an HCl
molecule. Because the chlorine atom is so much more massive
than the hydrogen atom, it is reasonable to assume that the hydrogen
atom vibrates back and forth while
the chlorine atom remains at rest. Use the graph to estimate the
vibrational frequency of the HCl molecule.
