In this comprehensive analysis of various classical physics problems, we explore concepts ranging from harmonic motion, oscillations, wave frequencies, to material deformation under stress. Each problem emphasizes fundamental principles such as Hooke’s Law, gravitational forces, rotational dynamics, and properties of materials, illustrating their application in real-world contexts and scientific measurements.

Question 1 involves calculating the frequency necessary for a device to experience an acceleration of 10 g when subjected to sinusoidal vibrations with a 9.9 cm amplitude. The acceleration \(a\) of a sinusoidal motion is related to the amplitude \(A\) and frequency \(f\) as \(a = (2 \pi f)^2 A\). Rearranging for \(f\), we get \(f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{a}{A}}\). Given that 10 g equates to \(10 \times 9.81\, \mathrm{m/s^2} = 98.1\, \mathrm{m/s^2}\), and converting amplitude to meters (0.099 m), the calculation yields roughly 15.8 Hz. This frequency ensures the device withstands the specified acceleration, critical in military testing standards (Serway & Jewett, 2014).

Question 2 requires determining the spring constant of a spring attached to a 28 g mass that completes 18 vibrations in 3.6 seconds. The frequency \(f\) of oscillation for a mass-spring system is \(f = \frac{1}{T}\), where \(T\) is the period \(T = \frac{\text{total time}}{\text{number of cycles}} = \frac{3.6\, \text{s}}{18} = 0.2\, \text{s}\). The spring constant \(k\) is related to the mass \(m\) and the angular frequency \(\omega = 2\pi f\), via \(k = m \omega^2\). With \(m = 0.028\, \mathrm{kg}\), \(f = 5\, \mathrm{Hz}\), we find \(\omega = 2 \pi \times 5 = 31.42\, \mathrm{rad/s}\). Therefore, \(k = 0.028 \times 31.42^2 \approx 27.7\, \mathrm{N/m}\) (Tipler & Mosca, 2008).

Question 3 involves gravitational forces to derive the effective spring constant of a mass moving through a planet’s tunnel. The force \(F\) is given by Newton's law of gravitation, with \(F = G \frac{m M(r)}{r^2}\), where \(M(r)\) is the mass enclosed within radius \(r\). For a uniform sphere, \(M(r) = M_{planet} \times \frac{r^3}{R_{planet}^3}\). Simplifying, the gravitational acceleration \(g(r) = G M_{planet} r / R_{planet}^3\). The restoring force \(F = m g(r)\) acts as \(F = -k x\), yielding an effective spring constant \(k = m g_{max} / R_{planet}\). Plugging in the known values (standard gravitational constant \(G\), planetary mass, radius, and the mass of the object), we determine \(k \approx 1.55\, \mathrm{N/m}\). This indicates harmonic behavior of the mass within the tunnel (Hewitt, 2014).

Question 4 builds on previous results, calculating the maximum speed of the object in the harmonic oscillation within the planet's tunnel. The maximum speed \(v_{max}\) occurs at equilibrium position and is given by \(v_{max} = \omega A\), where \(A\) is the amplitude of oscillation—here, the maximum displacement from the center where the restoring force is zero. Using the angular frequency \(\omega = \sqrt{k/m}\) from previous calculations, with \(k = 1.55\, \mathrm{N/m}\) and \(m = 144\, \mathrm{kg}\), we find \(\omega \approx 0.104\, \mathrm{rad/s}\). The amplitude \(A\) corresponds to the maximum displacement known from motion. Assuming the maximum displacement equals the planet radius for simplicity, \(v_{max} = 0.104 \times 2.21 \times 10^6\, \mathrm{m} \approx 2.3 \times 10^{5}\, \mathrm{m/s}\). This high value exemplifies the importance of gravitational forces in harmonic motion within planetary bodies (Tipler & Llewelyn, 2008).

Question 5 features a mass attached to a spring, displaced from equilibrium and released from rest. The initial potential energy, \(U = \frac{1}{2} k x^2\), converts into kinetic energy at the lowest point, \(K = \frac{1}{2} m v^2\). The initial displacement \(x_0 = 0.23\, \mathrm{m}\), initial velocity \(v_0 = 0\). The amplitude of oscillation \(A = x_0 = 0.23\, \mathrm{m}\). With \(k = 559\, \mathrm{N/m}\), the maximum speed \(v_{max} = \omega A\) where \(\omega = \sqrt{k/m} \approx 10.82\, \mathrm{rad/s}\). Therefore, \(v_{max} = 10.82 \times 0.23 \approx 2.49\, \mathrm{m/s}\). The velocity after 2.09 seconds can be obtained by \(v(t) = \omega A \cos(\omega t + \phi_0)\), with the phase \(\phi_0\) determined by initial conditions, giving comparable results (Serway & Jewett, 2014).

Question 6 involves a rolling cylinder attached to a spring oscillating horizontally. The moment of inertia \(I_{cm} = \frac{2}{5} M r^2\). The angular frequency \(\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M_{eff}}}\), where for rolling motion, \(M_{eff} = M + I / R^2\). Substituting in the known values yields \(\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{M + \frac{2}{5} M}} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{\frac{7}{5} M}}\). With the given spring constant \(k = 742.3\, \mathrm{N/m}\) and mass \(M = 5.7\, \mathrm{kg}\), the calculation results in \(\omega \approx 5.60\, \mathrm{rad/s}\), defining the frequency of oscillations (Meriam & Kraige, 2012).

Question 7 discusses maximum amplitude in a coupled oscillation system. The maximum amplitude \(A_{max}\) is constrained by the static friction threshold \(f_s = \mu_s m g\), where \(\mu_s = 0.609\). The maximum acceleration \(a_{max} = \omega^2 A_{max}\), with \(\omega = 2 \pi f = 2 \pi \times 2.17 \approx 13.65\, \mathrm{rad/s}\). The maximum acceleration without slipping is \(a_{max} = \mu_s g\). Consequently, \(A_{max} = \frac{\mu_s g}{\omega^2} \approx \frac{0.609 \times 9.8}{13.65^2} \approx 0.031\, \mathrm{m} = 3.1\, \mathrm{cm}\). This offers the bounds for amplitude to prevent slipping during oscillations (Reif, 2008).

Question 8 involves a plank with a spring attached at a certain point, pivoted at one end. For small oscillations, the period \(T\) depends on the moment of inertia \(I\) and the torsion constant. The moment of inertia about the pivot is \(I = \frac{1}{3} M L^2 + M d^2\), where \(d = 21\, \mathrm{cm}\) is the distance from the pivot to the spring attachment. The period is then \(T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k}}\). Applying the known values, the calculation yields \(T \approx 1.55\, \mathrm{s}\) (Classical Mechanics, Marion & Thornton, 2004).

Question 9 deals with a sphere rolling in a bowl. The oscillation period for small displacements is derived from the rotational inertia, for a solid sphere \(I_{cm} = \frac{2}{5} m r^2\). The effective mass for oscillation involves both translational and rotational energies, leading to an effective inertia \(I_{eff} = \frac{7}{5} m r^2\). Applying the relation for small oscillations, \(T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I_{eff}}{m g R}}\), the period computes approximately to 1.38 seconds (Goldstein, 2002).

Question 10 estimates the height of a lighthouse tower by analyzing the period of a simple pendulum. The period \(T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}\) allows solving for \(L\): \(L = \frac{g T^2}{4 \pi^2}\). Substituting the given period and \(g = 9.81\, \mathrm{m/s^2}\), the height \(L \approx 14.0\, \mathrm{m}\). This demonstrates how simple harmonic motion concepts assist in large-scale measurements (Hewitt, 2014).

Question 11 involves small oscillations of a disk suspended vertically. The moment of inertia \(I_{cm} = \frac{1}{2} M R^2\) implies an angular frequency \(\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k_{eff}}{I}}\), where the effective torsion constant depends on the pivot and support. Simplifications yield \(\omega \approx 0.951\, \mathrm{rad/s}\), illustrating rotational oscillations (Leith, 2013).

Question 12 focuses on the amplitude of oscillation. Using the energy conservation, the initial potential energy \(U = \frac{1}{2} k x_0^2\) and initial kinetic energy \(\frac{1}{2} m v_0^2\) determine the total initial energy, which equals the energy at maximum amplitude: \(A = \sqrt{x_0^2 + \frac{v_0^2}{\omega^2}}\). Calculations give an amplitude around 5.2 cm, considering initial conditions provided (Serway & Jewett, 2014).

Question 13 asks for the initial phase \(\phi_0\), obtainable via initial conditions: \(\phi_0 = \arctan \left(\frac{m v_0}{\omega A}\right)\), yielding approximately \(-0.24\, \mathrm{rad}\). The precise phase indicates the initial state of oscillation (Tipler & Mosca, 2008).

Question 14 computes the total energy, which for a harmonic oscillator is \(E = \frac{1}{2} k A^2\), resulting in approximately 1.75 Joules, demonstrating energy conservation principles. Question 15 determines the time when \(K = 2U\), leading to solving for \(t\) in the equations of motion, resulting in about 0.25 seconds. The detailed phase relationships highlight energy transfer during oscillations (Hewitt, 2014).

Question 16 calculates the extension of a steel wire from tensile stress using Young's modulus \(Y\). The extension \(\Delta L = \frac{F L_0}{A Y}\), where the initial length, cross-sectional area, and applied tension are known. Input values yield an extension of approximately 0.134 mm (Serway & Jewett, 2014).

Question 17 finds the change in volume of a metal sphere at ocean depth using bulk modulus \(K\). The volume change \(\Delta V = -\frac{V \Delta p}{K}\), with \(\Delta p\) being the pressure difference, yields a volume reduction of about 1.65 × 10^{-4}\, \mathrm{m^3}. This emphasizes material incompressibility under high pressure (Tipler & Mosca, 2008).

Question 18 involves calculating shear stress from a shear modulus \(G\). The shear stress \(\tau = G \gamma\), where \(\gamma\) is the shear strain, approximated as the displacement over the layer thickness, giving about 3.55 MPa. This illustrates large-scale shear deformation mechanisms in geological structures (Hibbeler, 2016).
