Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A mass-spring system is set to oscillate. If it has a spring constant of 100 N/m and a mass of 4 kg, calculate the frequency of the oscillation.
💡 Hint: Break down the problem into finding angular frequency first.
An external force is applied to a damped oscillator causing it to resonate. If the natural frequency is 10 Hz and the damping ratio is low, describe the potential consequences of this scenario.
💡 Hint: Think about real-life structures affected by resonant frequencies.
