Straight wooden stick has mass M=0.70kg, Length L=1.6m, uniform cross-section A=14cm², and constant densityhas a small mass m=0.20kg attached to its one end. The stick is partially submerged in water (density =1,000kg/m³). While in equilibrium, the stick will float in a vertical position with large part of it submerged. The stick is then pushed down by distance y_max =30cm from the equilibrium, and released. Find the period of the oscillations of this system. State your answer to the nearest 0.01s. Assume no drag forces are acting in this situation. Take g=9.8m/s²

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To find the period of the oscillations of the system we can use the concept of simple harmonic motion SHM When the stick is displaced and then release... View the full answer
