Elastic and plastic behaviour — practice question

The vibration frequency $f$ of a mass $m$ held by a spring of spring constant $k$ is described by $f = C m^p k^q$ where $C$ is a constant with no units. State the values of $p$ and $q$?

  • A$p = -\frac{1}{2},\ q = -\frac{1}{2}$
  • B$p = -\frac{1}{2},\ q = \frac{1}{2}$
  • C$p = \frac{1}{2},\ q = -\frac{1}{2}$
  • D$p = \frac{1}{2},\ q = \frac{1}{2}$
