What is the natural frequency of this system?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on determining the natural frequency of a spring-mass system connected to a horizontal simple pendulum. The relevant equation for the spring-mass system is F = -Kx. Participants are encouraged to share their attempts at solving the problem for review. Clarifications are requested regarding the properties of the left string, such as whether it is inextensible, and the direction of oscillation—sideways or along the spring. Understanding these details is crucial for accurately calculating the system's natural frequency.

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.

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}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
