Spring Systems

Frequency of a particle performing S.H.M. is 10 Hz. The particle is suspended from a vertical spring. At the highest point of its oscillation the spring is unstretched. Maximum speed of the particle is (g=10 m/s2)(g = 10\text{ m/s}^2)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Spring unstretched at the top, so A=gω2A = \frac{g}{\omega^2} and vmax=gωv_{max} = \frac{g}{\omega}.
  2. ω=2πf=20π\omega = 2\pi f = 20\pi rad/s
  3. vmax=1020π=12πv_{max} = \frac{10}{20\pi} = \frac{1}{2\pi} m/s
  4. So the answer is (b).
