    Calculate frequency based on change in hanging mass

    Thanks tiny-tim! I used f = (1/2π)(√1/.22kg) = 3.35 Hz That's a closer answer to the book's 3.8Hz answer. However, by not figuring k using the information that the .60kg weight made the spring oscillate at a frequency of 3Hz, I'm not sure how to use the information about the .60kg weight and...

    Calculate frequency based on change in hanging mass

    Homework Statement An elastic cord vibrates with a frequency of 3.0 Hz with a mass of 0.60kg is hung from it. What is its frequency when only 0.38kg hangs from it? Homework Equations freq = (1/2Pi)*sqrt(k/m) The Attempt at a Solution freq = 3.0Hz = (1/2Pi)*sqrt(k/0.60kg) =...

    How Is the Spring Constant Calculated for Car Vibrations?

    Homework Statement The springs of a 1500kg car compress 5mm when its 68kg driver gets into the drivers seat. If the car goes over a bump what will be the frequency of the vibrations? Homework Equations Spring force = F = -kx Time = (4pi^2)(m/k) Freq = 1/T The Attempt at a...

    Box slides down incline, air resistance does work. Find Velocity.

    Homework Statement A 38.7g box slides down an incline of height 12.5m. As it slides, air resistance does -3.71J of work. Find the speed at which it reaches the bottom of the incline. Homework Equations E kinetic at bottom = E potential at top - Work air resistance 1/2 mv2 - 1/2...

    Calcuate Elastic Modulus of metal cable

    Homework Statement A mass of 225 kg is hung from a metal cable of length 1.60m and diameter 8.20mm. This causes the cable to stretch by an amount 0.668mm. Calculate the Elastic Modulus of the metal. Homework Equations E=(F/A)/(change L / orig L) The Attempt at a Solution F =...
