Calculating frequency of oscillation
+0
−0
A 4C point charge of mass 2kg is suspended by a string of length 6m. The charge is placed in the Earth's Gravitational field and a uniform horizontal electric field of strength
. If the charge is displaced slightly from equilibrium, what will be the frequency of oscillation? (g=10m/s)
I was trying to solve the question following way.
Where,
The correct answer is
But, I couldn't solve it anyway.
1 answer
+0
−0
While force is vector. So, we should use vector addition not "direct addition".
From vector addition formula
For force,
Then, problem solved.
