Question

A block of mass 15 kg executes SHM under the restoring force of a spring. The amplitude and the time period of the motion are 0.1 m and 3.14 s respectively. Find the maximum force exerted by the spring on the block.
  1. 8N
  2. 10N
  3. 12N
  4. 6N

A
6N
B
12N
C
8N
D
10N
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The maximum force exerted on the block is ka, when the block is at the extreme position, where k is the spring constant.
The angular frequency ω=2πT=2s1
The spring constant k=mω2=15×4=60Nm1
The maximum force exerted on the block is ka=60×0.1=6N
