A vibration sensor, used in testing a washing machine, consists of a cube of aluminum 1.50 cm on edge mounted on one end of a strip of spring steel (like a hacksaw blade) that lies in a vertical plane. The strips mass is small compared with that of the cube, but the strips length is large compared with the size of the cube. The other end of the strip is clamped to the frame of the washing machine that is not operating. A horizontal force of 1.43 N applied to the cube is required to hold it 2.75 cm away from its equilibrium position. If it is released, what is its frequency of vibration?

(B) llllllll Students set up an experiment by attaching an ideal vertical spring to a support and hanging a block of known mass from the spring. The students pull the block down and release it from rest. The students then measure the period of the block's oscillation. This procedure is repeated for several trials using the same spring but with blocks of different known masses. The students are instructed to create a linear graph using the mass m of each block and the period T of the block's motion. The slope of the graph will be used to calculate the force constant k of the spring. Which of the following best indicates how the students should create their linear graph and how k can be calculated from the slope of the graph?

Astronauts in space cannot weigh themselves by standing on a bathroom scale. Instead, they determine their mass by oscillating on a large spring. Suppose an astronaut attaches one end of a large spring (spring constant 240 N/m) to her belt, and the other end to a hook on the wall. A fellow astronaut then pulls her back 17.0 cm and releases her. The period of her ensuing motion is 3.15 s. What is her mass? What maximum acceleration does she experience?
