Problem 75CP
A block hangs in equilibrium from a vertical spring. When a second identical block is added, the original block sags by 5.0 cm. What is the oscillation frequency of the two-block system?
Solution
Step 1 of 2
We have to find the oscillation frequency of the two-block system
Let the length of the stretched spring due to a block of mass \(m b e \Delta L_{1}\) and when a second identical block is added, the original block sags by \(5.0 \mathrm{~cm}\), so in case of two block system the sping is further stretched by \(\Delta L_{2}\)
\(\Delta L_{2} =\Delta L_{1}+5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(=\Delta L_{1}+0.05 \mathrm{~m}\)
The spring is in equilibrium so from Newton's second law the equations for single and two block systems are given by
\(k\left(\Delta L_{1}\right)=m g\)
\(k\left(\Delta L_{1}+5\right)=(2 m) g\)
Where,
\(g=9.80 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\)

It has recently become possible to "weigh" DNA molecules by measuring the influence of their mass on a nano-oscillator. FIGURE P14.50 shows a thin rectangular cantilever etched out of silicon (density \(2300 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\)) with a small gold dot at the end. If pulled down and released, the end of the cantilever vibrates with simple harmonic motion, moving up and down like a diving board after a jump. When bathed with DNA molecules whose ends have been modified to bind with gold, one or more molecules may attach to the gold dot. The addition of their mass causes a very slight-but measurable-decrease in the oscillation frequency. A vibrating cantilever of mass \(M\) can be modeled as a block of mass \(\frac{1}{3} M\) attached to a spring. (The factor of \(\frac{1}{3}\) arises from the moment of inertia of a bar pivoted at one end.) Neither the mass nor the spring constant can be determined very accurately- perhaps to only two significant figures-but the oscillation frequency can be measured with very high precision simply by counting the oscillations. In one experiment, the cantilever was initially vibrating at exactly \(12 \mathrm{MHz}\) Attachment of a DNA molecule caused the frequency to decrease by \(50 \mathrm{~Hz}\). What was the mass of the DNA? Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: 2300 kg/m^3 M 1/3M 12 MHz 50 Hz

Problem 58P A geologist needs to determine the local value of g. Unfortunately, his only tools are a meter stick, a saw, and a stopwatch. He starts by hanging the meter stick from one end and measuring its frequency as it swings. He then saws off 20 cm—using the centimeter markings—and measures the frequency again. After two more cuts, these are his data: Length (cm) Frequency (Hz) 100 0.61 80 0.67 60 0.79 40 0.96 Use the best-fit line of an appropriate graph to determine the local value of g.

Problem 59P Interestingly, there have been several studies using cadavers to determine the moments of inertia of human body parts, information that is important in biomechanics. In one study, the center of mass of a 5.0 kg lower leg was found to be 18 cm from the knee. When the leg was allowed to pivot at the knee and swing freely as a pendulum, the oscillation frequency was 1.6 Hz. What was the moment of inertia of the lower leg about the knee joint?

Chapter 14: Problem 63 Physics for Scientists and Engineers: A Strategic Approach with Modern Physics 3
A molecular bond can be modeled as a spring between two atoms that vibrate with simple harmonic motion. FIGURE P14.63 shows an SHM approximation for the potential energy of an \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule. For \(E<4 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{~J}\) it is a good approximation to the more accurate \(\mathrm{HCl}\) potential-energy curve that was shown in Figure 10.31. Because the chlorine atom is so much more massive than the hydrogen atom, it is reasonable to assume that the hydrogen atom \(\left(m=1.67 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}\right)\) vibrates back and forth while the chlorine atom remains at rest. Use the graph to estimate the vibrational frequency of the \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule. Equation Transcription: Text Transcription: HCl E<4 times 10^?19 J (m=1.67 times 10^?27 kg)

Problem 66P On your first trip to Planet X you happen to take along a 200 g mass, a 40-cm-long spring, a meter stick, and a stopwatch. You’re curious about the free-fall acceleration on Planet X, where ordinary tasks seem easier than on earth, but you can’t find this information in your Visitor’s Guide. One night you suspend the spring from the ceiling in your room and hang the mass from it. You find that the mass stretches the spring by 31.2 cm. You then pull the mass down 10.0 cm and release it.
