Chapter 11, Problem 11.3E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The frequency of a harmonic oscillator is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Hook’s law states that the strain produced in a solid is directly proportional to the applied force. The classical harmonic oscillator is a type of repetitive motion. It follows the Hook’s law. The Hook’s law is given by,

$F=-Kx$

Where,

• $F$ is the force.

• $K$ is the spring constant.

• $x$ is the deformation.
