The homogeneous spring has length L and stiffness k divide into two parts of lengths L1 and L2 and denote n = L1 / L2. (a) Express the stiffness k1 and k2 of both new springs with k and n. (b) If a block was connected to the original spring, as in Fig. 16.5, the resulting harmonic oscillator oscillated with frequency f. If we now attach the L1 spring to the box, or. spring length L2, the new oscillator frequency f1, or. frequency f2. Express the frequencies f1 and f2 using the original frequency f.
2) The deflection of the harmonic particle is at a certain
moment
equal to one half of the amplitude. What part of the total
mechanical
energy at this point takes the form of kinetic energy (a)
and (b) potential? (c) What deflection is one half
total mechanical energy form kinetic energy? Have your say
amplitude.
