AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the frequency of vibration for a 0.3kg mass suspended from a 200Nm spring. The solution involves using the formulas ω = √(k/m) and f = ω/2π. The calculated angular frequency (ω) is 25.82 radians per second, leading to a frequency (f) of 4.11 Hz. Participants confirm the calculations appear correct and express satisfaction with the solution. The discussion highlights the application of fundamental physics equations in solving vibration problems.

Homework Statement


A mass of 0.3kg is suspended from a spring 200Nm. If the mass is displaced by 10mm from its equilibrium position and released, for the resulting vibration, calculate:

a. the frequency of vibration.


Homework Equations


ω = √ k/m
f = ω/2∏

The Attempt at a Solution


ω=√ 200/0.3 = 25.82 rads-1

so f = ω / 2∏

f = 25.82/2∏ = 4.11Hz

Does this seem to be correct? Any help would be appreciated.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
