Practice Test - Ch 12 Periodic Motion
 1. What is the time period of a spring (k=42 N/m) with a 80 kg mass attached?
 

 2. A 2 kg mass is suspended from a spring, causing a 30 N elastic force as it stretches  by 0.72 m. 
 
       a) What is the value of k for that spring?

       b) How long is one period?
 

 3. A 44 kg rock is suspended from a spring which stretches from its relaxed length of 0.60 m to a length of 0.85 m.  What is the k value for that particular spring?
 

 4. What is the time period of a pendulum that is 1.8 m in length?

 5. Using all 3 equations, prove that x=L if the elastic force is equal to the weight of a suspended mass.
