17. Periodic Motion Simple Harmonic Motion of Vertical Springs
4PRACTICE PROBLEM
A mass M is attached to the lower end of a light spring with a spring constant k suspended from a clamp. The system is made to oscillate. A motion detector measures the amplitude and time needed for the mass to complete 5 oscillations. This procedure is repeated with different masses, and the results are shown in the table. Calculate the spring constant using a suitable graph representation.
