Astronauts use a uniform rod with a mass of 10.6 kg and a length of 2 meters todetermine the acceleration due to gravity on Planet Todd? To do this, they attachthe rod to a pivot point that is 0.3 meters from one end of the rod and then allowthe rod to hang vertically. From its equilibrium position, the rod is displaced 7.9degrees and released. The time for 5 oscillations is found to be 15.5 seconds.What is the acceleration due to gravity on the planet?m/s2 A particle of mass 23.3 kg is attached a spring with a force constant of 100 N/m.It is oscillating on a horizontal frictionless surface with an amplitude of 2.8 m.

A spider can tell when its web has captured, say, a fly because the fly's thrashing causes the web threads to oscillate. A spider can even determine the size of the fly by the frequency of the oscillations. Assume that a fly oscillates on the capture thread on which it is caught like a block on a spring. What is the ratio of oscillation frequency for a fly with mass m to a fly with mass 2.5m?
A boy of mass 49.8 kg standing on the end of a diving board depresses it vertically downward a distance of 15.7 cm. By pushing down on the board with a force a little greater than his weight, the boy can depress the end of the board a bit farther. The boy and the board then oscillate up and down. Estimate the period of oscillation, assuming that the force the board exerts is approximately like that of a compressed spring, in other words, that it obeys Hooke's law.
