A mass of is attached to a spring of constant . What is the angular frequency of oscillation (in rad/s)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 6
- Step 1: Recall the formula for the natural angular frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator: .
- Step 2: Substitute spring constant and attached mass : .
- Step 3: Evaluate angular frequency: .
Answer
6.
Why not the others: The other values (1/36, 12, 36) confuse angular frequency with linear frequency or invert the mass-to-spring ratio.
