Chapter 13, Problem 78GP
Helioseismology In 1962, physicists at Cal Tech discovered that the surface of the Sun vibrates due to the violent nuclear reactions that roil within its core. This has led to a new field of solar science known as helioseismology. A typical vibration of the Sun is shown in Figure 13.39; it has a period of 5.7 minutes. The blue patches in Figure 13-39 are moving outward; the red patches are moving inward. (a) Find the angular frequency of this vibration. (b) The maximum speed at which a patch of the surface moves during a vibration is 4.5 m/s. What is the amplitude of the vibration, assuming it to be

- Scientists have developed a clever way to measure a mass of virus using a spring. A cantilever beam in the scanning electron microscope image below is like a diving board, except that it is extremely small (a couple of micrometer). The cantilever beam with mass m can oscillate (imagine a vibrating diving board) and it can be modeled as a spring with a spring constant k. What you can measure experimentally is the frequency of oscillation of the cantilever first without the virus (f1) and after the virus had attached itself to the cantilever (f2). (a) Find the mass of virus from f1 and f2 (assume that we don’t know the spring constant k) (b) Suppose the mass of cantilever is 10.0 * 10^-16 g and a frequency of 2.00 * 10^15 Hz without the virus and 2.87 * 10^14 Hz with the virus.
