Military specications often call for electronic
devices to be able to withstand accelerations
of 10 g. To make sure that their products
meet this specication, manufacturers test
them using a shaking table that can vibrate
a device at various specied frequencies and
amplitudes.
If a device is given a vibration of amplitude
6.6 cm, what should be its frequency in order
to test for compliance with the 10 g military
specication? The acceleration of gravity is
9.81 m/s

.
Correct answer: 6.13596 Hz.
Explanation:
Let : a
max
= 10g = 98.1 m/s

and
A = 6.6 cm = 0.066 m.

A 56.3 g object is attached to a horizontal
spring with a spring constant of 11.9 N/m
and released from rest with an amplitude of
24.4 cm.
What is the velocity of the object when it
is halfway to the equilibrium position if the
surface is frictionless?
Correct answer: 3.07213 m/s.
Explanation:
Let : m = 56.3 g = 0.0563 kg ,

A man enters a tall tower, needing to know
its height. He notes that a long pendulum
extends from the ceiling almost to the oor
and that its period is 16.8 s.
How tall is the tower? The acceleration of
gravity is 9.8 m/s
2
.
Correct answer: 70.0624 m.
Explanation:
Let : T = 16.8 s .
The height of the tower is approximately the
same as the length of the pendulum. The
