Asimple harmonic oscillator has a time period of 4s. if the mass of the system is 2kg, what is the force constant of the spring used?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to angular velocity as a function of the Period of a body. And with this angular velocity we will proceed to find the spring constant using the ratio of the mass and the square of the angular velocity. Our values are

The angular frequency is defined as,

Replacing,

Now the constant of the spring is defined as,

Replacing,

Therefore the force constant of the spring used is 4.93N/m

answer

procedural programming, object-oriented programming

explanation

procedural programming is a type of computer programming language that specifies a series of well structured steps and procedures   within its development period of time. it contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to complete a computational task or program. it is centered on creating procedures. while object oriented programming is a programming language that is centered on creating objects rather that actions and data rather than logic.. it has four principles which are inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation
