A) A block with a mass of 0.309 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 40

Question

A) A block with a mass of 0.309 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 400. N/m. It is sitting at equilibrium. You then pull the block down 6.20 cm from equilibrium and let go. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

B) A block with a mass of 0.618 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 400. N/m. It is sitting at equilibrium. You then pull the block down 6.20 cm from equilibrium and let go. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

C) A block with a mass of 0.309 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 800. N/m. It is sitting at equilibrium. You then pull the block down 6.20 cm from equilibrium and let go. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

D) A block with a mass of 0.309 kg is attached to a spring of spring constant 400. N/m. It is sitting at equilibrium. You then pull the block down 12.4 cm from equilibrium and let go. What is the amplitude of the oscillation?

Explanation / Answer

In general, the amplitude of the spring is nothing but the maximum displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position, and hence, the pull given by us is the maximum displacement the spring can move.

Hence,

a to c= A= 6.20 cm,

d= 12.4 cm
