A 6.0 kilogram mass is to be suspended from a cylindrical cord made of rubber with equilibrium length 1.5 meters. If an oscillation frequency of 5 Hertz is desired when the mass is pulled so the cord stretches, what diameter should the cord have? Assume the Young’s modulus of the rubber is 2*10^6 N/m^2 , the yield stress is 3*10^6 N/m^2, and the shear modulus is 0.5*10^6 N/m^2.
Hi,
Hope you are doing well.
We know that,
Frequency of a SHM (Simple harmonic motion),
Where,
'' is the
Force constant of rubber.(N/m)
Given that,
Also we know that,Force constant of rubber,
'' is
given by
Where,
'' is the
Young's modulus of rubber.(N/m2)
'' is the
Area of cylindrical
cord.(m2)
'' is the
Length of cylindrical
cord.(m)
From equation (1),
Given that,
Area of cylindrical cord,
