Question

A mass attached to a spring of spring constant 200N/m undergoes a simple harmonic motion. If the mass is 2kg, what is the period of the oscillation?

Answer 1

See the answer below......

Explanation:

If the period of oscillation of a body is `"T"`, then `color(red)(ul(bar(|color(green)("T"=2pisqrt(m/k))|`

• `mrarr`mass of the body attached to the spring
• `krarr`spring constant

  So, the value of `color(red)("T")=2pisqrt(2/200)=pi/5~~0.63`

Period of oscillation is `color(blue)(0.63) " s"`

Hope it helps...
Thank you...
