Question

What is the period of oscillation of a mass of 40 kg on a spring with constant k = 10 N/m?

Answer 1

The answer is: `T=12.56s`

There exists a formula that gives the period o oscillation:

`T=2pisqrt(m/k)`.

So:

`T=2*3.14*sqrt((40kg)/(10N/m))=6.28*sqrt(4(kg)/((kg*m/s^2)/m))=6.28*2s=12.56s`
