QUESTION:

The maximum displacement of a mass oscillating about its equilibrium position is 0.2 m, and its maximum speed is 1.2 m/s. What is the period \(\tau\) of its oscillations?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The period of the oscillations of the mass is given by,

\(\tau=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega} \dots \dots(1)\)

Here, \(\omega\) is the angular frequency.

The maximum speed of the oscillating mass is given by,

\(v_{0}=\omega x_{0}\)

Here, \(x_{0}\) is the maximum displacement of the oscillating mass from its equilibrium position.
