Problem

A 0.60 kg0.60\,\text{kg} mass is attached to an ideal spring with spring constant 15 N m−115\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. Nearby, a simple pendulum of length 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m} oscillates with small amplitude. Calculate the period of each oscillator and state which one completes more cycles in 10.0 s10.0\,\text{s}.
