Homework Statement
One end of a light spring with force constant k = 100 N/m is attached to a vertical wall. A light string is tied to the other end of the horizontal spring. the string changes from horizontal to vertical as it passes over a pulley of mass M in the shape of a solid disk of radius R = 2.00 cm. The
pulley is free to turn on a fixed, smooth axle. The vertical section of the string supports an object of mass m = 200 g. The string does not slip at its contact with the pulley. The object is pulled downward a small distance and released.
(a) What is the angular
frequency v of oscillation
of the object in terms of
the mass M?
(b)What
is the highest possible
value of the angular frequency
of oscillation of the object?
2. Homework Equations
w=(k/m)exp1/2
The Attempt at a Solution
I honestly do not know where to start... For a), wouldn't you simply use the w=(k/m)exp1/2 formula since the angular frequency only depends on the mass and the spring contsant?
