A loaded spring performs simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 5cm. If the maximum acceleration of the load is 20cm s-1, calculate the angular frequency of the motion

  • A. 2 rad s-1
  • B. 4 rad s-1
  • C. 5 rad s-1
  • D. 10 rad s-1

Correct Answer: A. 2 rad s-1

Explanation

= \(\frac{v}{g} = \frac{0.2}{0.05}\)

where w = √ 4 → 2rad s-1
