Problem

A laboratory spring–mass oscillator has a measured time period of

0.60\,\text{s}

when a

300\,\text{g}

mass is suspended from it. (i) Determine the force constant

k

of the spring. (ii) The spring is now used horizontally on a friction-free air track with the same

k

. What mass must be attached so that the time period becomes exactly

1.00\,\text{s}
