The discussion centers on calculating the natural frequency of a spring-mass system attached to a horizontal simple pendulum. The relevant equation provided is Hooke's Law, F = -Kx, which describes the force exerted by the spring. Participants emphasize the need for additional details, such as whether the left string is inextensible and the direction of oscillation, to accurately determine the system's natural frequency. The conversation highlights the importance of clarifying system parameters for precise calculations.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, mechanical engineers, and anyone interested in the dynamics of oscillatory systems will benefit from this discussion.
Please post your attempt so that we can review it and help you.Also please mention the details of the question,whether the left string is inextensible or not,are the oscillation sideways or along the spring.Arunsaikalki said:
