SOAL
1. A U-tube open at both ends is filled with an incompressible fluid of density ρ . The
cross-sectional area A of the tube is uniform and the total length of the fluid in the
tube is L . A piston is used to depress the height of the liquid column on one side
by a distance xo. What is the angular frequency of the ensuing simple harmonic
motion? Neglect any resistive forces and at the walls of the U-tube.

2. Consider two cascaded mass-spring systems

(a) Write down the equation of motion for each mass, assigning displacements x1(t)
and x2(t) for the masses m1 and m2, respectively. You may assume that the
springs are identical.

(b) Then eliminate x2(t) between the two equations to show that the differential
equation for x1(t) is given by

(c) Show that the oscillation frequency ω is given as solutions to

which allows two possible solutions for |ω|

3. A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block (m =2.00 kg), a spring (k =

10.0 N/m), and a damping force (F= bv). Initially, it oscillates with an amplitude of
25.0 cm; because of the damping, the amplitude falls to three-fourths of this initial
value at the completion of four oscillations.
(a) What is the value of b?
(b) How much energy has been “lost” during these four oscillations?

4. A simple pendulum has a length L and a mass m. At its highest point, the
pendulum mass is 0.25L above its lowest point.
What is the speed of the mass when it is at its lowest point? Express your
answer in terms of m, L, and g.

5. An object of mass m = 0.2 kg is hung from a spring whose spring constant is 80

Nm–1. The body is subject to a resistive force given by –bv, where v is its velocity
and b = 4 Nm–1s
a. Set up the differential equation of motion for free oscillations of the system,
b. and find the period of such oscillations.
6. A 0.500-kg cart connected to a light spring for which the force constant is 20.0
N/m oscillates on a frictionless, horizontal air track(.( The cart is modeled as a
particle in simple harmonic motion)
a. Calculate the maximum speed of the cart if the amplitude of the motion is
3.00 cm.
b. What is the velocity of the cart when the position is 2.00 cm?
c. Compute the kinetic and potential energies of the system when the position of
the cart is 2.00 cm.
