A mass m = 3.4 kg is at the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant k = 105 N/m on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block is pulled, stretching the spring a distance A = 6.5 cm from equilibrium, and released from rest.
(a) Write an equation for the angular frequency of the oscillation
(b) Calculate the angular frequency o of the oscillation in rad/seconds

Answer:

[tex]w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

b. [tex]5.6rad/s[/tex]

Explanation:

a. from the spring-mass system which is explicitly describe by hooks law

from

F=-kx

which is in comparison to newtons general law of motion

F=ma

where the displacement x is expressed as

[tex]x=Asin(wt)\\[/tex]

and the acceleration is the second derivative of the displacement

[tex]a=-Aw^{2}sin(wt)\\[/tex]

hence final expression after substituting for the acceleration and the displacement  is expressed as

[tex]w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

b. for k=105N/m and m=3.4kg

we have the angular frequency to be

[tex]w=\sqrt{\frac{105}{3.4}}\\\\w=5.6rad/s[/tex]
