In the figure, two masses, M = 16 kg and m = 12.8.0 kg, are connected to a %3D very light rigid bar and are attached to an ideal massless spring of spring constant 100 N/m. The system is set into oscillation with an amplitude of 78 cm. At the instant when the acceleration is at its maximum, the 16-kg mass separates from the 12.8.0-kg mass, which then remains attached to the spring and continues to oscillate. What will be the amplitude of oscillation of the 12.8.0-kg mass? lell M 35cm 62cm 78cm 98cm 180cm
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
