a body of mass 1kg is made to oscillate on a spring of force constant 16 n/m calculate 1 the angular frequency 2 the frequency of oscillation

Sagot :

Answer :

[tex]\omega=r\ rad/s[/tex] and [tex]f=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\ Hz[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a body, m = 1 kg

Force constant, k = 16 N/m

We need to find the angular frequency and the frequency of oscillation.

(a) The angular frequency of a body is given by :

[tex]\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}} \\\\=\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{1}} \\\\=4\ rad/s[/tex]

(b) The frequency of oscillation is given by :

[tex]f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}\\\\f=\dfrac{4}{2\pi}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\ Hz[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
