an apple weighs 1.20 n. when you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.44 n/m and negligible mass, it bounces up and down in shm. if you stop the bouncing and let the apple swing from side to side through a small angle, the frequency of this simple pendulum is half the bounce frequency. (because the angle is small, the back and forth swings do not cause any appreciable change in the length of the spring.)



Answer :

The unstretched length of the spring is 3.333 m

Calculation :

k = Spring constant = 1.5 N/m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

l = Unstretched length

Frequency of SHM motion is given by

[tex]f_{s} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

Frequency of pendulum is given by

[tex]f_{p} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }[/tex]

Given in the question

[tex]f_{s} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]     =  [tex]f_{s} = \frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{g}{l} }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }= \frac{1}{2}\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]  

l = [tex]\frac{4gm}{k}[/tex]

l = [tex]\frac{4*9.8*\frac{1.2}{9.8} }{1.44}[/tex]

l = 3.333 m

The unstretched length of the spring is 3.333 m

The word "force" has a precise meaning. At this level it is appropriate to describe the force as pushing or pulling. A force does not contain or "have within" an object. A force is applied from one object to another. The concept of force is not limited to living things and inanimate things
