Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Break down the problem into finding angular frequency first.

Question 2

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.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about real-life structures affected by resonant frequencies.
