Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A mass of 5 kg is attached to a spring with a stiffness of 200 N/m. Calculate the natural frequency and describe its implications for free vibration.

💡 Hint: Use the natural frequency formula carefully.

Question 2

Consider a mass-spring system that oscillates with a natural frequency of 4 rad/s. If the mass is doubled, what will be the new natural frequency?

💡 Hint: Analyze the effect of mass on natural frequency.
