Answer to Question #300502 in Physics for KeKo

Question

(c) the following system may be used commercially to measure mass (or weight) (1) if, at the sensor, the maximum measurable deflection is 10mm and k= 10^5 Nm^-1, calculate the maximum measurable mass, Mmax. (2) calculate the frequency of oscillation when Mmax is applied. (3) suggest an improvement to the system to enable many measurement of mass to be made in rapid succession.
