Suppose the oscillatory motion of an object can be modeled using the equation
s(t) = 7.8sin(3.8t)
where time is measured in seconds and distance is measured in inches. Find the number of cycles (oscillations) the object makes per second. (Provide 4 decimal places.)
A spring is hanging down from the ceiling, and an object of mass m is attached to the free end. The object is pulled down, thereby
stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down
oscillation is given by the equation T = 2л√m/k, wherek is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this
equation to be dimensionally correct?
