Question

The mass on the end of the spring ( which stretches linearly) is in equilibrium as shown. it's pulled down so that the pointer is opposite the 11-cm mark and then released.


1-what's the amplitude of the resulting oscillations ?

2- The mass in question 1 has period of 0.5 seconds. If the amplitude is doubled, what's the period of oscillation?


Please, show me.

The mass on the end of the spring ( which stretches linearly) is in equilibrium as shown. it's pulled down so that the pointer is opposite the 11-cm mark and then released. what's the amplitude of the resulting oscillations ? The mass in question 1 has period of 0.5 seconds. If the amplitude is doubled, what's the period of oscillation?

Explanation / Answer

1. amplitude of oscillation = 11-7 = 4cm

2. period is independent of amplitude .. so new peiod = .5 s
