Mechanical Oscillations

Problem 4.26

A small body of mass \(m\) is fixed to the middle of a stretched string of length \(2 l .\) In the equilibrium position the string tension is equal to \(T_{0}\). Find the angular frequency of small oscillations of the body in the transverse direction. The mass of the string is negligible, the gravitational field is absent.

Reveal Answer
ω=2T0/ml\omega=\sqrt{2 T_{0} / m l}
