Nubbie math problem help


Obnoxious

Recommended Posts

This is from a 6 part physics homework problem, I got part a-e, but part f (likely to be my grade :mad: ) is what I'm having some trouble with:

A mass m slides down a frictionless incline and sticks to a spring (spring constant k ), initiating simple harmonic motion.

 

f) What is the angular frequency of the SHM?

 

I got [math](k/m)^{1/2}[/math] as the solution (someone please tell me how to get the Latex radical :D )

You're good !

 

[math] \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} [/math]
