Students attach a thin strip of metal to a table so that the strip is horizontal in relation to the ground. A section of the strip hangs off the edge of the table. A mass is secured to the end of the hanging section of the strip and is then displaced so that the mass-strip system oscillates, as shown in the figure. Students make various measurements of the net force F exerted on the mass as a result of the force due to gravity and the normal force from the strip, the vertical position y of the mass above and below its equilibrium position y, and the period of oscillation T when the mass is displaced by different amplitudes A. Which of the following explanations is correct about the evidence required to conclude that the mass undergoes simple harmonic motion? A.The period T of oscillation depends on the amplitude A of the mass, because the students can directly change this value during the experiment. B.The net force F exerted on the mass must be directly proportional to the…

On a nice spring day you find yourself relaxing under an old oak tree. You pull the end of one of the tree's branches down (negative maximum displacement) about 2 ft and let it go (t = 0 s). You note that the resulting motion appears to be from a simple harmonic oscillator with a period of about 2.5 seconds. It takes the branch about 8 oscillations to decrease the amplitude by a factor of 2. (a) What evidence could you have to claim the branch undergoes simple harmonic motion?
