How Is Angular Frequency Calculated for a Plank Supported by a Spring?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the angular frequency of a uniform plank supported by a spring. Given a mass of 2.0 kg and a length of 1.0 m, the moment of inertia is calculated using the formula 1/3*M(L^2). The angular frequency of small oscillations is determined to be 39 s^-1 using the formula T=(2π(I/mgr)^(1/2)), where r is the distance from the center of mass. The process involves finding the period T and then inverting it to obtain the frequency f. This method effectively combines principles of rotational dynamics and harmonic motion.

A uniform plank of mass 2.0kg and length 1.0m is pivoted at one end
in a horizontal plane. It is supported at the other end by a spring with
k = 1000 N/m . What is the angular frequency of small oscillations? It m
may interest you to know that the moment of inertia of a uniform rod about its end is 1/3*M(L^2) where M is the mass and L is the length.


Tried to find Angular frequency by using angular momentum but I didn't find a suitable way to do it. Any suggestions?

The answer is 39s^-1

use T=(2*3.14(I/mgr)^(1/2))
r is the distance from center of mass
Then inverse T to calculate the value of f.
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
