A pendulum swings at an angle of 15 degrees. If its length is 1 meter, calculate the period of the pendulum using the formula T = 2π√(L/g). Assume g = 9.8 m/s².
💡 Hint: Remember to use the given length and gravitational acceleration.
For a mass-spring system with a spring constant of 500 N/m and a mass of 2 kg, determine the angular frequency and the frequency of oscillation.
💡 Hint: Use the oscillation formulas for calculating angular frequency first, then derive frequency.
