Suppose a diving board with no one on it bounces up and down in a simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 4.00 Hz. The board has an effective mass of 10.0 kg. What is the frequency of the simple harmonic motion of a 75.0-kg diver on the board?

Answer:

= 1.37 Hz

Explanation:

F = [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

Given that

Frequency of oscillation of the empty diving board when executing Simple harmonic motion = 4.00Hz

Mass of the diving board ,m= 10kg

Mass of the person on the diving board, M = 75kg

Let k be the stiffness constant of the diving board

Let F₂ be the frequency of the board with the person on it

Frequency of the diving board F₁ = [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

Frequency of the diving board with the person on it  

F₂ = [tex]\frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m + M} }[/tex]

Squaring both the equations and dividing the second equation with first equation

F₂² / F₁² = m / (m+M)

the frequency of the diving board with the person

F₂ = [tex]\sqrt{F^2\frac{m}{m + M} }[/tex]

    = [tex]\sqrt{4^2\frac{10}{10 + 75} }[/tex]

    = 1.37 Hz

the frequency of the simple harmonic motion when the diver is on the board is = 1.37 Hz

The frequency of the simple harmonic motion of the diver on the board is 1.372 Hz.

The given parameters;

  • frequency of the board, F₀ = 4 Hz
  • effective mass of the board, m₀ = 10 kg
  • mass of the person on the board, m₁ = 75 kg

The relationship between frequency of oscillation and mass of the oscillating object is given as;

[tex]F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F_1\sqrt{m_1} = F_2\sqrt{m_2} \\\\F_2 = F_1\sqrt{\frac{m_1}{m_2} } \\\\F_2 = 4 \times \sqrt{\frac{10}{10 + 75} } \\\\F_2 = 1.372 \ Hz[/tex]

Thus, the frequency of the simple harmonic motion of the diver on the board is 1.372 Hz.
