omg wait I didn't think about the 100g thank you. The displacement is 25cm(.25m) and F is 1N so the K=4N/m right? And that's the K I would use for the other masses?PeroK said:
The given displacement and period are not compatible. Is the displacement for the larger mass and the period for the smaller mass?swueettea said:
The period and the displacement in the post problem is for the pink object but wouldn't the spring constant I found for the 100g object work for all of them? the information I used to find the spring constant I got from the 100g object (the .25m and 1N).PeroK said:
It's not clear from the diagram what information you have. If you have either the displacement or the period for a known mass, then you can get the spring constant.swueettea said:
is this clearer?PeroK said:
Why can't you get the spring constant from the 100g mass?swueettea said:
Then it'd be 4N/m since 1N/.25m=4N/m right? And I can use that for the pink and blue masses too? Sorry I thought you meant that it was wrong earlier when I had said it so I got really confused.PeroK said:
I assume that's the idea.swueettea said:
Okay thank you so much for helping me!PeroK said:
One way to find the mass of an object without using a scale is by using the formula mass = density x volume. You can measure the volume of the object by submerging it in water and measuring the displacement of water. The density of the object can be found by researching the material it is made of.
No, a ruler cannot be used to find the mass of an object. A ruler measures length, not mass. To find the mass of an object, you will need to use a scale or another method such as the one mentioned in the first question.
The accuracy of finding the mass of an object without using a scale depends on the accuracy of the measurements taken for volume and density. The more precise these measurements are, the more accurate the calculated mass will be.
Yes, it is possible to find the mass of an object without any tools by using the method of estimating. This involves comparing the weight of the object to known objects of similar size and material. However, this method is not very accurate and should only be used as a last resort.
No, you cannot find the mass of an object without knowing its density. The formula mass = density x volume requires the density of the object to be known. Without this information, it is not possible to accurately calculate the mass of the object.
