The 3.00 kg cube has edge lengths d = 6.30 cm and is mounted on an axle through its center. A spring (k = 950 N/m) connects the cube's upper corner to a rigid wall. Initially the spring is at its rest length. If the cube is rotated 3.00° and released, what is the period of the resulting SHM?

Please provide a solution rather than just an answer. I really appreciate any help:)

You are going to find that you won't get much of a response by just throwing questions into a template and posting them. You need to show that you've made at least some attempt at solving the problem on your own.
 
what if i don't get it at all :(

Then you should probably start with a simpler question where you are only partially lost. For this problem convert the rotational motion of the cube into a distance the spring is stretched (a picture would really help here - I'm not sure what the geometry is). Then determine an approximate linear relation between the angle of rotation and the torque on the cube which, together with knowing the moment of inertial of the cube, gives you a SHO for small angular displacements.
 

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
