Question

Transcribed Image Text:A monkey hangs by a tree and swings back and forth at a frequency of 0.81 Hz by pushing on a nearby branch. If this is the
resonant frequency of the periodic motion, what is the length of the monkey when it swings? Round off your final
answer to two decimal places.

- A block of mass m = 6.04 kg is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 1532 N/m and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled, stretching the spring a distance of 0.145 m, and is held still. The block is then released and moves in simple harmonic motion about the equilibrium position. (Assume that the block is stretched in the positive direction.) (a) What is the frequency of this oscillation? Hz(b) Where is the block located 3.24 s after it is released? (Give the displacement from the equilibrium. Include the sign of the value in your answer.) m(c) What is the velocity of the mass at that time?

- A pendulum has a string of length 0.61 meters supporting it. Beside it is a mass connected to a spring of spring constant 79.46 N/m. What should be the mass of the object connected to the spring so that the two oscillating systems can resonate with each other? Round off your final answer to two decimal places.arrow_forwardThirty three of the 141 species of New World monkeys are endangered. A biologist studying one of these endangered species realizes that in some cases she can estimate the mass of an animal by period of oscillation when they hang on a vine. When one of the female adults hangs on a particular vine, she oscillates straight up and down at a period of 2.2 s. After the monkey moves to other areas the biologist finds that the vine has a spring constant of 65N/m a) Estimate the mass of the monkey.arrow_forwardA simple pendulum is 7.20 m long.
