Question

A 0.300- kg brass block is attached to a spring of negligible mass. What is the value of the spring constant if the vibrational frequency is 0.855Hz?

Answer 1

The spring constant can be calculated using the equation k = (4π^2mf^2)/g, where m is the mass of the block, f is the frequency, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2). Therefore, the spring constant is k = (4π^2*0.300 kg*(0.855 Hz)^2)/9.81 m/s^2 = 0.945 N/m.
