91Ó°ÊÓ

A mass hanging from a spring oscillates with a period of0.35s. 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 15%?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Rotational frequency in rpm is66rpm.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for km

The period of oscillation of the mass is,

T=2Ï€mk

Rearrange it,

T2=4Ï€2mk

km=4Ï€2T2

02

Expression for rotation frequency

A radial force acting toward the path's center of curvature is required for the mass to travel in a uniform circular motion.

In this situation, the radial force is the force exerted by the spring on the mass.

The net force on the mass is,

∑F=°ìΔ°ù=³¾Ó¬2r

Ó¬=kmΔ°ùr

Substitute all values,

Ó¬=4Ï€2T2Δ°ùr

03

Calculation for rotational frequency

Frequency is,

Ó¬=4Ï€2T2Δ°ùr

WhereT=0.35s,∆rr=0.15

Ó¬=4Ï€2(0.35s)2(0.15)

=6.95rad/s

converted to rpm,

=(6.95rad/s)1revolution2Ï€°ù²¹»å60s1min

=66rpm
