Thank you for your reply. I have an answer for the frequency of 2Hz which I got by saying the maximum value of the acceleration was equal to g, which is equal to omega^2*A, where A is the amplitude. I believe that may be right.
Homework Statement
A mass sits on a platform undergoing simple harmonic motion in the vertical
direction. The mass loses contact with the platform when the amplitude exceeds
6.2 cm. What is the frequency, f (in Hz), of the platform’s vibration? Take g =
9.8ms−2.
Homework Equations...
I'm starting a Physics (with Theoretical Physics) degree in October (4 Years), and I'm wondering what I can read up on, or what I can do to prepare myself. I've read a few Feynman books, and read-up on certain areas, but is there anything in particular any of you did to get a head start? Thanks
