Question

A physics lab is demonstrating the principles of simple harmonic motion fSHM) by using a spring affixed to a horizontal support. The student is asked to find the spring constant, k. After suspending a mass of 335.0 g from the spring, the student notices the spring is displaced 45.5 cm from its previous equilibrium. With this information, calculate the spring constant. When the spring, with the attached 335.0-g mass, is displaced from its new equilibrium position, it undergoes SHM Calculate the period of oscillation, T, neglecting the mass of the spring itself.

Explanation / Answer

Solution: Given F = mg = 0.335 x 9.81 = 3.29 N.
