Q.
A 10kg collar is attached to a spring (spring constant 600N/m), it slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by 20cm and released. What is the speed of the oscillation?
Angular frequency of spring - block system is given by ω=mk
Maximum speed in oscillation vmax=Aω=mk
Here, A=20cm=0.2m,k=600Nm−1 m=10kg,vmax=? vmax=0.210600=0.260ms−1
