AI Thread Summary
To determine the angular frequency (w) of the block attached to two springs with constants K1 and K2, the effective spring constant needs to be calculated. When a force F is applied, the displacements of the springs are X1 = F/K1 and X2 = F/K2. The combined spring constant can be derived using the formula for springs in series, leading to the effective spring constant K_eff = K1*K2/(K1 + K2). The angular frequency is then given by w = sqrt(K_eff/M), resulting in the formula w = sqrt(K1*K2/(K1 + K2)*M). Understanding this relationship is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Two springs, spring constants K1 and K2, are attached to a block of mass M on a frictionless table as shown. What will (w) be for the simple harmonic motion of the block if it is kicked?

what should I do... please give me a hint...


the picture is like..

|####---$$$$--@

where #### represents the spring with constant k1
and $$$$ represents the spring with constant k2
@ is the block attached to the springs...


the hint is that I have to isolate the point between the two srpings... I tried but I did not get the answer..

which is

w=sqrt(k1*k2/(k1 + k2)*m)

PLEASE I HAVE A FINAL on tuesday hel me...

If you stretch the block through a distance X by applying a force F, the spring S1 will stretch through X1 and spring S2 will stretch through X2. Since for the spring F = kX, X1 = F/k1 abd X2 = F/k2. Now find the spring constant of combined spring and find the (w).
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
