Describe two examples of oscillating systems that are not harmonic oscillators.

A ball whose mass is 1.4 kg is suspended from a spring whose stiffness is 4 N/m. The ball oscillates up and down with an

amplitude of 14 cm.

(a) What is the angular frequency ω?

(b) What is the frequency?

(c) What is the period?

(d) Suppose this apparatus were taken to the Moon, where the strength of the gravitational field is only 1/6 of that on

Earth. What would the period be on the Moon? (Consider carefully how the period depends on properties of the

system; look at the equation.)
