Question
A particle having mass 10g oscillates according to the equation x=(2.0cm) sin[(100s−1)t+π6]. Find the spring constant
Answer: Option B
:
B
A general sinusoidal, oscillation of amplitude A, angular frequency ωandataphaseψ is given as
x(t)=Asin(ωt+ψ),
Compare this with the equation under discussion
x=[(0.2cm)sin(100s−1)t+π6]
It is clear from a comparison, that
A=0.2cm=0.002m
ω=100s−1,andψ=π6
We know that for oscillations in a spring mass system, the spring constant is related to the mass m and ω as
k=mω2
The mass is given to us, viz. m=10g=0.01kg
∴Thek=[0.01×1002]kgs−2
=100kgs−2
Hence correct option is (b).
