A load with a mass of m = 0.04 kg is suspended on a spring and performs free harmonic vibrations, determine the frequency v and the cyclic vibration frequency w if the spring stiffness k = 400N / m
m = 0.04 kg.
k = 400 N / m.
v -?
w -?
The frequency of oscillations v of a spring pendulum is the number of oscillations per unit of time. The frequency shows how many complete oscillations the pendulum makes in 1 second.
The frequency of a spring pendulum v is determined by the formula: v = √k / 2 * P * √m, where k is the stiffness of the spring, P is the number pi, m is the mass of the load.
v = √400 N / m / 2 * 3.14 * √0.04 kg = 15.9 Hz.
Cyclic frequency or angular w is determined by the formula: w = 2 * P * v.
w = 2 * 3.14 * 15.9 Hz = 99.85 rad / s.
Answer: v = 15.9 Hz, w = 99.85 rad / s.
