In a laboratory, a spring fixed at one end is set into oscillation on a smooth horizontal surface with a solid metal cylinder of mass 0.50kg attached to its free end.
a. (a) Calculate the angular frequency of oscillation if the spring constant is 200Nm−1.
b. (b) Determine the time period of oscillation.
c. (c) How many complete oscillations will the cylinder execute in 2.0min? (Give your answer to the nearest whole number.)
