A mass of 13.9 kg bounces up and down from a spring with constant 9.3 N/m. Toward the bottom of its motion the mass dips into a pool of water and comes back out. The wave created by this process travels away at 5 m/s. What is the associated wavelength of this water wave measured in meters?

Answer:

[tex]\lambda_w=0.6509\ m[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass oscillating with the spring, [tex]m=13.9\ kg[/tex]
  • spring constant, [tex]k=9.3\ N.m^{-1}[/tex]
  • wave velocity on the water surface, [tex]v_w=5\ m.s^{-1}[/tex]

Now the angular frequency of the spring oscillation:

[tex]\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

[tex]\omega=\sqrt{\frac{9.3}{13.9} }[/tex]

[tex]\omega=0.81796\ rad.s^{-1}[/tex]

Now according to the question the wave is created after each cycle of the spring oscillation.

So the time period of oscillation:

[tex]T=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{0.81796}{2\pi}[/tex]

[tex]T=0.130182\ s[/tex]

Now the wave length of the water wave:

[tex]\lambda_w=v_w.T[/tex]

[tex]\lambda_w=5\times 0.130182[/tex]

[tex]\lambda_w=0.6509\ m[/tex]

Answer:

Wavelength will be 38.388 m

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 13.9 kg

Spring constant K= 9.3 N/m

Velocity v = 5 m /sec

Angular frequency is given by [tex]\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/tex]

So [tex]\omega =\sqrt{\frac{9.3}{13.9}}=0.817[/tex]

Now we have to find frequency for further calculation

So frequency will be equal to [tex]f=\frac{\omega }{2\pi }=\frac{0.817}{2\times 3.14}=0.130Hz[/tex]

Now we have to find wavelength, it is ratio of velocity and frequency

There is a relation between frequency velocity and wavelength

[tex]v=f\lambda[/tex]

[tex]\lambda =\frac{v}{f}=\frac{5}{0.130}=38.388m[/tex]
