Question

A mass of 1.0 kg is attached to a spring of stiffness constant $16 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$. Find its natural frequency.

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Natural frequency $f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{16}{1.0}} = \frac{4}{2\pi} \approx 0.64 \mathrm{~Hz}$.
