Answer:
Explanation:
Time period of oscillation of spring mass system
T = 2Ï€[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]
m = [tex]\frac{T^2\times k}{4\pi^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{(2.6)^2\times 13.2}{4\pi^2}[/tex]
= 2.26 kg
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of the mass from the _equilibrium point .
maximum displacement from equilibrium of +14.8 cm at time, t = 0.00 s
x(t) = 14.8cosωt
ω = 2πn = 2π x 9.73 = 61.1 rad /s
x(t) = 14.8cos61.1 t
when t = 1.25
x(t) = 14.8cos61.1 x 1.25
= 14.8cos61.1 x 1.25
= 14.8cos76.38
= 8.22 cm
A ball of mass 1.55 kg is hung from a spring which stretches a distance of 0.3800 m
spring constant
k = mg / x
= 1.55 x 9.8 / .38
= 40 N / m
T = 2Ï€[tex]\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }[/tex]
so  if mass is hung from a spring with a spring constant of 3k
T decreases by a factor of the square root of 3
