Question
A spring-mass system oscillates with a frequency v. If it is taken in an elevator slowly accelerating upward, the frequency will:
- Increase.
- Decrease.
- Remain same.
- Become zero.
✓
Answer
- Remain same.
Explanation:
Because the frequency $\Big(\text{v}-\frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{\text{k}}{\text{m}}}\Big)$ of the system is independent of the acceleration of the system.
