Simple hormonic motion
Question

A block is suspended by a spring and the elongation of the spring is found to be 10 cm. The block is now pulled downward by further 5 cm and released. Then frequency of oscillation of the block is (Take g = 10 m/s2)

Moderate
Solution

If x0 be the static elongation produced in the spring, then x0=mg/K

Time period of oscillation, T=2πmK=2πx0g

 Frequency f=1T=12πgx0=12π100.1Hz=5πHz
