Answer:
0.34 sec
Explanation:
Low point of spring ( length of stretched spring ) = 5.8 cm
midpoint of spring = 5.8 / 2 = 2.9 cm
Determine the oscillation period
at equilibrum condition
Kx = Mg
g= 9.8 m/s^2
x = 2.9 * 10^-2 m
k / m = 9.8 / ( 2.9 * 10^-2 ) = 337.93
note : w = [tex]\sqrt{k/m}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{337.93}[/tex] = 18.38 rad/sec
Period of oscillation = [tex]2\pi / w[/tex]
= 0.34 sec
