Prob. Set 5 due October 19
Reading: Ch.5, p. 135 - 153.
Problems:
1) 5-1
2) 5-2
3) 5-4
4) 5-5
5) 5-6 part a). For the period of one mass with the other mass clamped
use the value obtained in class:
5T = 11.29. Then compare your predicted values for the periods
of the two normal modes with those measured in class: 5T1 =
16.42, 5T2 = 9.43. Because of variations of the spring constants
in the demo you cannot expect your predictions to agree with experiment
to better than 2-3%.
6) 5-6 parts b) and c).
