- Some people modify cars to be much closer to the ground than when manufactured. Should they install stiffer springs? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardGive an example of a simple harmonic oscillator, specifically noting how its frequency is independent of amplitude.arrow_forwardFind the frequency of a tuning fork that takes 2.50103 s to complete one oscillation.arrow_forward

Find the minimum time required for its position to change from x = A to x = A/2 in terms of the period T.arrow_forward
- Refer to the problem of the two coupled oscillators discussed in Section 12.2. Show that the total energy of the system is constant. (Calculate the kinetic energy of each of the particles and the potential energy stored in each of the three springs, and sum the results.) Notice that the kinetic and potential energy terms that have 12 as a coefficient depend on C1 and 2 but not on C2 or 2. Why is such a result to be expected?arrow_forwardConsider a damped harmonic oscillator. After four cycles the amplitude of the oscillator has dropped to 1/e of its initial value. Find the ratio of the frequency of the damped oscillator to its natural frequency.arrow_forwardPlease Asaparrow_forward

(a) Find the spring constant k, the angular frequency w, as well as the period T and frequency f of free undamped motion for this spring-mass system. (b) Find the general solution x(t) of the DE for the free spring-mass system. (c) Suppose that an exterior force of F(t) = 2.5 sin(12t) in Newtons acts on the spring-mass system. Find the equation of motion (the solution x(t)) of the system if the mass initially is at rest in its equilibrium position.arrow_forward(B) llllllll Students set up an experiment by attaching an ideal vertical spring to a support and hanging a block of known mass from the spring. The students pull the block down and release it from rest. The students then measure the period of the block's oscillation. This procedure is repeated for several trials using the same spring but with blocks of different known masses. The students are instructed to create a linear graph using the mass m of each block and the period T of the block's motion. The slope of the graph will be used to calculate the force constant k of the spring. Which of the following best indicates how the students should create their linear graph and how k can be calculated from the slope of the graph? E k Graph T on the vertical axis and m on the horizontal axis; set k = 2π slope Graph T² on the vertical axis and m on the horizontal axis; set k Graph T on the vertical axis and m² on the horizontal axis; set k Graph T² on the vertical axis and m on the horizontal…arrow_forwardA peg on a turntable moves with a constant tangential speedof 0.82 m>s in a circle of radius 0.33 m.
