The logarithmic decrement of damping of a tuning fork oscillating with a frequency 1,1 Hz is 5. After what time interval will the amplitude of the tuning fork oscillations decrease by 7,1 times? Assume that the period of damped oscillations is close to the period of free undamped oscillations.
A block-spring system oscillates in a simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal table. Its displacement varies with time according to x(t) = 0.2 cos(2t - n/4). The earliest time the particle reaches position x = 0.1 m is
You are determining the period of oscillation of a pendulum. One procedure would be to measure the time for 20 oscillations, t20, and repeat the measurement 5 times. Another procedure would be to measure the time for 5 oscillations, t5, and repeat the measurement 20 times. Assume, reasonably, that the error in the determination of the time for 20 oscillations is the same as the error in the determination of the time for 5 oscillations. Calculate the error in the period for both procedures to determine which will give the smallest error in the value of the period? Comments on your answer.
