PAL #2 Archimedes Weigh object = Weigh bowl = Put cup full of water in bowl, insert object,
remove cup Weigh bowl of water = mbowl2 Volume of object = Density of object = mobj / Vobj Biggest source of error is getting the right
amount of water into the cup class answers range from 3000-15000 kg/m3
Would not work for floating object unless you held it underwater
Hard to estimate fraction submerged
Simple Harmonic Motion
e.g. a mass on a spring Frequency (f) --
Unit=hertz (Hz) = 1 oscillation per second = s-1
Period (T) -- T=1/f
Angular frequency () -- = 2f = 2/T Unit =
We use angular frequency because the motion cycles
Equation of Motion
The displacement from the origin of a particle
undergoing simple harmonic motion is:x(t) = xmcos(t + )
Amplitude (xm) --
Phase angle () --
Remember that (t+) is in radians
SHM in Action Consider SHM with =0:
x = xmcos(t) Remember =2/T
x=xm
x=-xm
x=xm
SHM Monster

10m
Phase
The value of relative to 2 indicates the offset as a function of one period It is phase shifted by 1/2 period
Velocity
v(t)=-xmsin(t + )
Since the particle moves from +xm to -xm the velocity must be negative (and then positive in the other direction)
High frequency (many cycles per second)
means larger velocity
Acceleration
a(t)=-xmcos(t + )
Making a substitution yields:a(t)=-2x(t)
x, v and a Consider SMH with =0:
x = xmcos(t)v = -xmsin(t) = -vmsin(t)
a = -xmcos(t) = -amcos(t)
Mass is momentarily at rest, but being pulled hard in the other direction
Mass coasts through the middle at high speed
Force But, F=ma so,
F=-m2x
F=-kx Where k=m2 is the spring constant
Simple harmonic motion is motion where force is
proportional to displacement but opposite in sign Why is the sign negative?

system is called a linear oscillator
