Problem Solving:

1) A pendulum is observed to complete 32 full cycles in 56 seconds.

a. Calculate the period.

b. Calculate the frequency.

c. Calculate the length.

2) A mountain climber figures out the gravity at his location in the


mountains. He used a 4.0 m length of string and found that with a rock
tied at its end, its period as a pendulum was 4.1 seconds. What was “ g “ at
his location?

5) A 450 g mass on a spring is stretched and released. The period of
oscillation is measured to be 0.46 s. What is the spring constant?

6 ) A 0.70 kg object vibrates at the end of a horizontal spring (k = 75


N/m) along a frictionless surface. What is the frequency of the
vibration?
