A beam is clamped at one end and an object X is attached to the other end of the beam, as
shown in Fig. 1.1.
The object X is made to oscillate vertically. The time period T of the oscillations is given by
where M is the mass of X,
l is the length between the clamp and X,
E is the Young modulus of the material of the beam
and K is a constant.
(i) 1. Show that the SΙ base units of the Young modulus are kg m–1 s–2.
2. Determine the SΙ base units of K.
