So if i have F1= -kx = -280x and F2= 260x do i then add them ? if so i would get Ft= -20x ...then should i use -20 as my value for k? and substitute it into the equation that i said before...where frequency equals the square root of (k divided by m)? THanks so much for your help by the...

got it! i actually figured it out already using g=(omega)^2(x) thanks for your help though

A block rides on a piston that is moving verticallly with simple harmonic motion. A) If the SHM has a period of 4.9 seconds, at what amplitude of motion will the block and piston separate? B) If the piston has an amplitude of 4.0 cm, what is the maximum frequency for which the block and piston...

suppose that the two springs have different spring constants k1=280 N/m and k2=260 N/m and the mass of the object is m=14 kg. Find the frequency of oscillation of the block in Hz. http://www.physics.umd.edu/rgroups/ripe/perg/abp/think/oscil/mos.htm the first picture on this site is what the...
