When taking my pet turkey to the vet, the scale read a mass of 29 kg. The scale consists of a spring that has a force constant value of 36000 N/m. Part (a) What distance did the spring move when the pet turkey jumped onto the scale? d= m Part (b) Assuming that the spring behaves as a simple harmonic oscillator, what is the oscillation frequency of the spring when the pet turkey steps on the scale? f = Hz
A small earthquake starts a lamppost vibrating back and forth. The amplitude of the vibration of the top of the lamppost is 6.2 cm at the moment the quake stops, and 7.4 s later it is 1.0 cm . What is the time constant for the damping of the oscillation? What was the amplitude of the oscillation 3.7 s after the quake stopped?
