A spring stretches by 2 mm when it is loaded with a mass of 200 g....
A spring stretches by mm when it is loaded with a mass of g. From equilibrium position the mass is further pulled down by mm and released. The frequency associated with the system and maximum energy in the spring are __________ Hz and __________ J, respectively. (Take g m/s)
Options
- A and
- B and
- C and
- D and
Correct answer
A. and
Step-by-step solution
At equilibrium, the restoring force of the spring balances the weight of the mass:
N/m
The frequency of oscillation is given by:
Hz
The maximum energy in the spring corresponds to its maximum elastic potential energy, which occurs at the maximum extension.
Maximum extension x_\max = x_0 + A = 2 \text{ mm} + 2 \text{ mm} = 4 \text{ mm} = 4 \times 10^{-3} m
Maximum energy in the spring U_\max = \dfrac{1}{2} k x_\max^2
U_\max = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (4 \times 10^{-3})^2
U_\max = 500 \times 16 \times 10^{-6} = 8000 \times 10^{-6} = 8 \times 10^{-3} J
