One procedure would be to measure the time for 20 oscillations, t20, and repeat the measurement 5 times. Another procedure would be to measure the time for 5 oscillations, t5, and repeat the measurement 20 times. Assume, reasonably, that the error in the determination of the time for 20 oscillations is the same as the error in the determination of the time for 5 oscillations. Calculate the error in the period for both procedures to determine which will give the smallest error in the value of the period? Comments on your answer.arrow_forward

- 5) A block-spring system oscillates in a simple harmonic motion on a frictionless horizontal table. Its displacement varies with time according to x (t) = 0.2 cos (2t - n / 4). The earliest time the particle reaches position x = 0.1 m isarrow_forwardThe one-dimensional harmonic oscillator has the Lagrangian L = mx˙2 − kx2/2. Suppose you did not know the solution of the motion, but realized that the motion must be periodic and therefore could be described by a Fourier series of the form x(t) =∑j=0 aj cos jωt, (taking t = 0 at a turning point) where ω is the (unknown) angular frequency of the motion. This representation for x(t) defines many_parameter path for the system point in configuration space. Consider the action integral I for two points t1 and t2 separated by the period T = 2π/ω. Show that with this form for the system path, I is an extremum for nonvanishing x only if aj = 0, for j ≠ 1, and only if ω2 = k/m.arrow_forwardA baby with a mass of 10.6 kg bounces up and down in his crib.
