- A uniform annular ring of mass m and inner and outer radii a and b, respectively, is pivoted around an axis perpendicular to the plane of the ring at point P (Fig. P16.35). Determine its period of oscillation. FIGURE P16.35arrow_forwardA simple pendulum of length L hangs from the ceiling of an elevator. a. While the elevator is moving up with constant acceleration a, is the period of the pendulum affected? If so, how? b. Now suppose we hang a particle of mass m on a spring of spring constant k and attach it to the ceiling of the same elevator. How does an upward acceleration a affect the period of this simple harmonic oscillator?arrow_forwardThe equation of motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is given by x(t) = (18.0 cm) cos (10t) (16.0 cm) sin (10t), where t is in seconds. a. Find the amplitude. b. Determine the period. c. Determine the initial phase.arrow_forward
- A block of mass m = 5.94 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 1592 N/m and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled, stretching the spring a distance of 0.150 m, and is held still. The block is then released and moves in simple harmonic motion about the equilibrium position. a. What is the frequency of this oscillation? b. Where is the block located 3.24 s after it is released? c. What is the velocity of the mass at that time?arrow_forward(a) If frequency is not constant for some oscillation, can the oscillation be SHM? (b) Can you think of any examples of harmonic motion where the frequency may depend on the amplitude?arrow_forwardA mass on a spring undergoing simple harmonic motion completes 4.00 cycles in 14.0 s. a. What is the period of motion for this system? b. What is the frequency, in hertz, of this system? c. What is the angular frequency of this system?arrow_forward
- The equations listed in Table 2.2 give position as a function of time, velocity as a function of time, and velocity as a function of position for an object moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. The quantity vxi appears in every equation. (a) Do any of these equations apply to an object moving in a straight line with simple harmonic motion? (b) Using a similar format, make a table of equations describing simple harmonic motion. Include equations giving acceleration as a function of time and acceleration as a function of position. State the equations in such a form that they apply equally to a blockspring system, to a pendulum, and to other vibrating systems. (c) What quantity appears in every equation?arrow_forwardA block of mass m rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface and is attached to two springs with spring constants k1 and k2 (Fig. P16.22). It is displaced to the right and released. Find an expression for the angular frequency of oscillation of the resulting simple harmonic motion. FIGURE P16.22 Problems 22 and 81.arrow_forward(a) If frequency is not constant for some oscillation, can the oscillation be simple harmonic motion?
