A mass of \(5\, {kg}\) is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. A simple pendulum of length \(4\, {m}\) has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed? (In \({m} / {s}^{2}\))
- A \(10\)
- B \(5\)
- C \(4\)
- D \(9.8\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
From potential energy curve \({U}_{\max }=\frac{1}{2} {kA}^{2} \Rightarrow 10=\frac{1}{2} {k}(2)^{2}\) \(\Rightarrow {k}=5\) Now \({T}_{\text {spring }}={T}_{\text {pendulum }}\) \(2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{5}{5}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{4}{g}}\)…
