Problem
A 0.40kg block slides without friction on a horizontal surface and is attached to an ideal spring fixed at the opposite end.
(a) The spring constant is 65N/m. Calculate the time required for the block to complete one full oscillation after it is released from a small displacement.
(b) Determine the frequency of the resulting oscillatory motion.
(c) The block continues oscillating with negligible energy loss. How long will it take to complete 25 full oscillations?
