- The spring is 5 cm at its natural length. When at equilibrium (e.g. see figure) its length becomes 50 cm. The cart’s mass is 273 gr and the hanging weight is 300 gr. The cart and weight are set into oscillation. Derive the theoretical period as a function of the two masses and the spring constant (no air resistance or friction). Show methodology and discrete steps.arrow_forwardThe oscillatory movement of a simple pendulum is a characteristic of the regular repetition of displacements around an equilibrium position. The pendulum swings due to the restored force of gravity, which seeks to bring the mass back to the equilibrium point. The oscillatory behavior is described by a trigonometric solution, which relates the pendulum's position to time, considering its amplitude, frequency and initial phase. Statement: A simple pendulum moves according to the following question:y(t) = A.sin(ωt + φ)In this question, y(t) is the horizontal position of the pendulum, A is its amplitude, ω is its angular velocity, given by ω = 2πf, and φ is the initial phase of the movement, in radians. Since the initial phase of the movement is equal to 0 and its angular velocity is π/2 rad/s, the oscillation frequency of this pendulum is correctly given by the alternative: a) 2.0Hz b) 1.5Hz c) 1.0Hz d) 0.5Hz e) 0.25Hzarrow_forwardDetermine the conditions under which mechanical energy is conserved in a pendulum.
