Question

A 2 kg block of cheddar cheese hangs from an ideal spring of negligible mass. When displaced from equilibrium and released, the cheese oscillates with a period of 0.4 secs. How much the spring stretched when the cheese hangs in equilibrium?
period=2PIsqrt(weight/springconstant)

solve for spring constant.

then weight= kx solve for x.
