A mass of 5 kg is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. A simple pendulum of length 4 m has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed?
Multiple Choice Options
- A 10 m/s2
- B 5 m/s2
- C 4 m/s2
- D 9.8 m/s2
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
From the potential energy curve,
k = 5 N/m
The length of the simple pendulum, L = 4 m
Time period of spring,
Time period of simple pendulum,
The time period of simple pendulum is same as the time period of the spring oscillation.
=
Substituting the values in the above equations, we get
=
g = 4m/s2
The acceleration due to the gravity on the planet is 4 m/s2.
k = 5 N/m
The length of the simple pendulum, L = 4 m
Time period of spring,
Time period of simple pendulum,
The time period of simple pendulum is same as the time period of the spring oscillation.
=
Substituting the values in the above equations, we get
=
g = 4m/s2
The acceleration due to the gravity on the planet is 4 m/s2.
