Tutorial 1 Question 1
• A heavy table is supported by flat steel legs. Its natural period in horizontal oscillation is 0.4s. When a 30‐kg plate is clamped to its surface, the natural period in the oscillation is increased to its surface the natural period in the oscillation is increased to 0.5s. What is the effective spring constant and the mass of the table?

… Solution to Question 1

• This question shows the dependence of natural frequency on mass. Let us write equation of motion (EOM) for both cases mass Let us write equation of motion (EOM) for both cases

• Let us relate the measured natural period of oscillation to the derived theory for natural frequency. derived theory for natural frequency

• Case (a) has the EOM being

mx  kx  0

• Natural period of Case (a) is

– Obtained by force balance

• Case (b) has the EOM being
(m  30k )   k  0
30kg) x kx

– Because of added 30‐kg mass

• Its natural frequency is q y

• Natural period of Case (b) is

• Its natural frequency reduces to
Its natural frequency reduces to

    From watching this Crash Course video, I learned many things about memory. One topic that was discussed in the video was Clive Wearing. Wearing was a London musician, until, in 1985 at the age 47, he contracted a rare Herpes encephalitis virus that desolated his central nervous system. From that point forward he's been not able recall any of his past, or to gain any new experiences. His wife is the only individual he recognizes, but he can never recall the last time he saw her. This video gave detail on what memory is and the things that make it up. Memory is the faculty by which the mind stores and remembers information. Memory is comprised of different parts such as working memory, explicit memory and implicit memory. Working memory is…
