Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.
Answer:
Spring constant, k = 5483.11 N/m
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the organ, m = 2 kg
The natural period of oscillation is, T = 0.12 s
Let k is the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model. The period of oscillation is given by :



k = 5483.11 N/m
So, the spring constant for the spring in the scientist's model is 5483.11 N/m.
