1. CHAPTER 10 Elasticity and Oscillations

3. Oscillations Oscillation or vibration = back-and-forth motion.
Repeats itself, hence it is periodic.
Vibrations common:
Vocal cords when singing/speaking
String/rubber band,
Spring
Simple Pendulum – Grandfather clock

4. An object in stable equilibrium:
If displaced slightly from equilibrium point, will oscillate about the equilibrium point.
It will experience a restoring force.
The restoring force - directly proportional to displacement.
The restoring force is opposite to displacement. F = -kx

5. Types of Equilibrium

6. Simple Harmonic Motion
Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM)
Periodic motion in which
Magnitude of the restoring force is proportional to displacement.
Restoring force is opposite to the displacement.
Spring (Elastic) force: F = -kx
So spring motion is SHM.
F(x) x

7. Springs
Hooke’s Law: The force exerted by a spring is proportional to the distance by which the spring is stretched or compressed from its relaxed position.
FX = -k x
where x is the displacement from the relaxed position and k is the constant of proportionality.
relaxed position
(Equilibrium Position)
FX = 0 x
x=0

8. Springs FX = -kx relaxed position FX > 0 Compressed x x < 0
Stretched x
x > 0
x = 0

9. x=A F=-kA v=0 a=-kA/m
x=0 F=0 v=-vo a=0
x=-A F=kA v=0 a=kA/m
x=0 F=0 v=+vo a=0
x=A F=-kA v=0 a=-kA/m

10. x t AMPLITUDE (x = A) = Maximum displacement from equilibrium.
PERIOD (T) = Time to make one complete
cycle.
FREQUENCY (f) = # of cycles per second.

11. Total energy of the spring-mass system:
E = U(spring) + K(mass) = ½kx2 + ½mv2
x=A F=-kA v=0 a=-kA/m
U=½kA2 K=0
x=0 F=0 v=-vo a=0
U=0 K=½mvo2
x=-A F=kA v=0 a=kA/m
U =½kA2 K=0
x=0 F=0 v=+vo a=0
U=0 K=½mvo2

12. Total Energy At equilibrium point, E1 = U + K = ½mvo2 + 0
At maximum displacement points,
E2 = U + K = ½kA2 + 0
At any other position where displacement is x
and the velocity is vx;
E3 = ½kx2 + ½mvx2
Conservation of energy: E1 = E2 = E3
½kA2 = ½mvo2 = ½kx2 + ½mvx2

13. Total Energy E1 = E2 = E3 ½kA2 = ½mvo2 = ½kx2 + ½mvx2 ½mvo2 = ½kA2
OR vo = (k/m) A

14. Energy in SHM
A mass is attached to a spring and set to motion. The maximum displacement is x = A
Energy = U + K = constant!
= ½ k x2 + ½ m v2
At maximum displacement x = A, v = 0
Total Energy = ½ k A2 + 0
At zero displacement x = 0
Total Energy = 0 + ½ mvm2
Conservation of energy: ½ k A2 = ½ m vm2
Hence vo = (k/m) A
Analogy w/ marble in bowl

15. Energy in SHM
½ k A2 = ½ m vm2
vo = (k/m) A x US m x
x=0

35. Vertical Mass and Spring
If we include gravity, there are two forces acting on mass. With mass, new equilibrium position has spring stretched d
SF = kd – mg = 0
d = mg/k Let this point be y=0
SF = k(d-y) – mg
= -k y
Same as horizontal! SHO
New equilibrium position y = d

36. The Simple Pendulum
Simple pendulum – small object (pendulum bob) attached to the end of a light inextensible string of length L and swung through small displacements.
Motion of the bob back and forth along arc length (s) is a simple harmonic motion.
Restoring force bringing bob back to eqlbm position
F = -mgsin x FT mg m  s
mgsin  m

37. Types of Equilibrium

38. The Simple Pendulum
Restoring force bringing bob back to eqlbm position = F = -mgsin
For small angles, sin   = s/L  x/L
F = -mg  = -mgx/L, i.e. F  x
Compare with F = -kx, means k  mg/L
OR k/m = g/L . But k/m = 2
So 2 = g/L
Since T = 2(m/k) = 2(L/g)
Period of simple pendulum T = 2(L/g) x FT mg m  s
mgsin  L
