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

A block on a frictionless table is connected as shown in FIGURE P15.75 to two springs having spring constants k1and k2. Find an expression for the block’s oscillation frequency fin terms of the frequencies f1and f2at which it would oscillate if attached to spring 1or spring 2alone.

A 200goscillator in a vacuum chamber has a frequency of 2.0Hz. When air is admitted, the oscillation decreases to 60%of its initial amplitude in 50s. How many oscillations will have been completed when the amplitude is 30%of its initial value?

Interestingly, there have been several studies using cadavers to determine the moments of inertia of human body parts, information that is important in biomechanics. In one study, the center of mass of a 5.0 kg lower leg was found to be 18 cm from the knee. When the leg was allowed to pivot at the knee and swing freely as a pendulum, the oscillation frequency was 1.6Hz . What was the moment of inertia of the lower leg about the knee joint?

It is said that Galileo discovered a basic principle of the pendulum—

that the period is independent of the amplitude—by using

his pulse to time the period of swinging lamps in the cathedral

as they swayed in the breeze. Suppose that one oscillation of a

swinging lamp takes5.5s.

a. How long is the lamp chain?

b. What maximum speed does the lamp have if its maximum

angle from vertical is 3.0∘?

A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.0s.What is the period if

a. The mass is doubled?

b. The mass is halved?

c. The amplitude is doubled?

d. The spring constant is doubled? Parts a to d are independent questions, each referring to the initial situation.
