A block hangs in equilibrium from a vertical spring. When a second identical block is added, the original block sags by . What is the oscillation frequency of the two-block system?
A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of . If the frequency is low, the penny rides up and down without difficulty. If the frequency is steadily increased, there comes a point at which the penny leaves the surface.
At what point in the cycle does the penny first lose contact with the piston?
What is the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for the full cycle?
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. When the displacement of a mass on a spring is , what fraction of the energy is kinetic energy and what fraction is potential energy?
b. At what displacement, as a fraction of A, is the energy half kinetic and half potential?
The analysis of a simple pendulum assumed that the mass was a particle, with no size. A realistic pendulum is a small, uniform sphere of mass and radius at the end of a massless string, withbeing the distance from the pivot to the center of the sphere.
a. Find an expression for the period of this pendulum.
b. Suppose, typical values for a real pendulum. What is the role="math" localid="1650084928460" ratio, whererole="math" localid="1650084943350" is your expression from part a androle="math" localid="1650084959286" is the expression derived in this chapter?
