Homework Statement
Your professor tells you about pre-digital computer days when engineers used electric circuits to model mechanical systems. They could modify parameters of the circuit elements and see the effect on the circuit's behavior. Suppose a 5.0kg mass is connected to a spring with k = 1.54. This is then modeled by an LC circuit with 2.0H.
What should C be in order for the LC circuit to have the same resonant frequency as the mass-spring system?
I found the resonant frequency of the mass-spring system to be = 0.56.
I have solved a formula to get this :
C = 1/ (omega^2 * L)
where omega = 0.56. No I am not sure how to find the inductance. Any help.
