Chapter 11, Problem 11.6E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The units on $\alpha$ is to be predicted. Whether the units on $\alpha$ make sense in light of equation 11.8 is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The Hook’s law states that the strain produced in a solid is directly proportional to the applied force on it. The classical harmonic oscillator shows a 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.
