Question

oscillating spring mass systems can be used to experimentally determine an unknown mass without using a mass balance. a student observes that a particular spring-mass system has a frequency of oscillation of 10 Hz. the spring constant of the spring is 250 N/m. what is the mass?​

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 63 grams

Explanation:

ω = 10 cycles/s(2π radians/cycle) = 20π rad/s

ω = √(k/m)

m = k/ω² = 250/(20π)² = 0.06332... kg
