Question
The period of oscillation for a mass-on-a-spring system is 0.14 s. If m = 3.9 kg, what is the spring constant of the spring? ____N/m
Answers
Jennifer
T = 2*pi/omega
where T is the period
0.14 = 2*pi/omega
Solve for omega
omega = (k/m)^0.5
where k is the spring constant; use algebra to solve for k
