A block of mass 0.50kg is attached to the end of a horizontal light spring. When set into oscillation, the block completes 40 complete oscillations in 50s on a friction-free surface.
a. (i) Calculate the time taken for one complete oscillation.
b. (ii) Determine the spring constant of the spring.
c. (iii) If the same spring is now used with a block of mass 1.00kg, calculate the frequency of oscillation of the new system.
