Simple Harmonic Motion
What effect occurs on the frequency of a pendulum if it is taken from the earth surface to deep into a mine
A thin uniform vertical rod of mass $$m$$ and length $$l$$ pivoted at point $$O$$ is shown in the figure. The combined stiffness of the spring is equal to $$k$$. The mass of the spring is negligible. The frequency of small oscillation is:
Let the bar be rotated through a small angle $$\theta$$.
The restoring torque of the forces $$mg, k_1 x$$ and $$k_2 x$$ about $$O$$ can be given as
$$\tau =-\left[mg \left(\dfrac 12 \right)\sin \theta +k_1 x (l \cos \theta)+k_2 x(l \cos \theta)\right]$$
Since $$\theta $$ is small $$\sin \theta \cong \theta , x=l\ \theta$$ and $$\cos \theta \cong 1$$
Putting $$k_1 +k_2$$, we obtain
$$\tau =-\left[kl^2 +mg\left(\dfrac 12 \right)\right] \theta$$
or $$I \alpha =-\left[kI^2 +mg \left(\dfrac 12\right)\right]\theta$$
$$\Rightarrow \ \omega_{osc}=\sqrt {\left(\dfrac {kl^2+mg(l/2)}{(ml^2 /3)}\right)} =\sqrt {\dfrac {3k}{m}+\dfrac {3g}{2l}}$$

A particle executing simple harmonic motion of amplitude 5 cm has maximum speed of 31.4 cm/s. The frequency of its oscillation is :
The unit 'hertz' is same as.
