Spring Systems

A mass mm is suspended from a spring of negligible mass and the system oscillates with a frequency f1f_1. The frequency of oscillations if a mass 9m9m is suspended from the same spring is f2f_2. The value of f1f2\frac{f_1}{f_2} is ________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 3

  1. f=12πkmf = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}, so f∝1mf \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}.
  2. f1f2=9mm=3\frac{f_1}{f_2} = \sqrt{\frac{9m}{m}} = 3
  3. So f1f2=3\frac{f_1}{f_2} = 3.
