Answer:
a
[tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]
b
[tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The amplitude is [tex]A = 1.8 \ cm = 0.018 \ m[/tex]
The period is [tex]T = 17 \ s[/tex]
The test weight is [tex]W = 13 \ N[/tex]
Generally the radial acceleration is mathematically represented as
[tex]a = w^2 r[/tex]
at maximum angular acceleration
[tex]r = A[/tex]
So
[tex]a_{max} = w^2 A[/tex]
Now [tex]w[/tex] is the angular velocity which is mathematically represented as
[tex]w = \frac{2 * \pi }{T}[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * \pi}{T} ]^2 * A[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * 3.142}{17} ]^2 * 0.018[/tex]
[tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Generally this test weight is mathematically represented as
[tex]W = k * A[/tex]
Where k is the spring constant
Therefore
[tex]k = \frac{W}{A}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]k = \frac{13}{0.018}[/tex]
[tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]
