Question

A spring is hung vertically. It is loaded with 50 g mass and allowed to oscillate. Calculate the frequency of oscillation when the spring is loaded with 150 g which exceeds 100m?

Answer 1

The 50 g Frequency will be `3^(1/2)` times the 150 g Frequency

Explanation:

`T = 2 pi (m/k)^(1/2)` for a spring-mass system
So T(150g) = `3^(1/2) T(50)`
Since f = 1 / T then
f(150g) = f(50g) / `3^(1/2)`
