Answer:
f = 3.09 Hz
Explanation:
This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is
w² =
to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data
F = - kx
where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging
F = W = m g
we substitute
m g = - k x
k =
we calculate
k =
k = 3.769 10² m
we substitute in the first equation
w² =
w = 19.415 rad / s
angular velocity and frequency are related
w = 2πf
f =
f = 19.415 / 2pi
f = 3.09 Hz
