15-28 a type of cuckoo clock keeps time by having a mass bouncing on a spring, usually something cute like a cherub in a chair. what spring constant is needed to produce a period of 0.500 s for a 0.0150-kg mass?



Answer :

The the required spring constant is  2.368

What is the time period of a spring-mass system?

For a spring-mass system, the timr period is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass and proportionate to the spring constant.

T = 2π√(m/K)

In the given problem,

Time period , T = 0.5 s

Mass, m = 0.0150-kg

T = 2π√(m/K)

K = 4π²m/T²

   = 4× π² × 0.015  /  0.5²

   = 0.592/0.25

   = 2.368

Therefore the required spring constant is 2.368
