A. How does changing the length of a spring (keeping everything else the same) affect the period of oscillation?

B. How does changing the mass hung on a spring (keeping everything else the same) affect the period of oscillation?

C. How does changing the amount of damping (keeping everything else the same) affect the oscillation?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Time period for a Spring Oscilltion is given by,

That is Time Period only depend on mass (m) and spring constant (k).

A. )

Keeping everything else the same , Change of  length of a spring doesnot affect the period of oscillation of spring

B )

Changing the mass will change the period of oscillation. They are directly proportional. If mass increases, then period of oscillation also increases and vice-versa.

C)

All practical oscillations are damped. That is the oscillations eventually die out ( stops oscillation ) after some time as damping increases.

A vertically suspend spring attached to mass M is held at natural length by a support beneath the mass. How would you (not experimentally) measure the amplitude of the oscillation? assuming no damping, and ideal spring If I know at the new equilibrium the spring is extended by a metres from its natural length, is this necessarily the amplitude that the mass oscillates through?
