Question

A glider of mass 0.400 kg is placed on a frictionless, horizontal
air track. One end of a horizontal spring is attached to the glider,
and the other end is attached to the end of the track. When released, the
glider oscillates in SHM with frequency 4.15 Hz. (a) Find the period
and angular frequency of the motion. (b) Find the force constant k of the
spring. (c) Find the magnitude of the force that the spring exerts on the
glider when the spring is stretched by 0.0200 m.

Definition Definition Special type of oscillation where the force of restoration is directly proportional to the displacement of the object from its mean or initial position. If an object is in motion such that the acceleration of the object is directly proportional to its displacement (which helps the moving object return to its resting position) then the object is said to undergo a simple harmonic motion. An object undergoing SHM always moves like a wave.

An apple weighs 1.04 NN. When you hang it from the end of a long spring of force constant 1.54 N/mN/m and negligible mass, it bounces up and down in SHM. If you stop the bouncing and let the apple swing from side to side through a small angle, the frequency of this simple pendulum is half the bounce frequency. (Because the angle is small, the back and forth swings do not cause any appreciable change in the length of the spring.) What is the unstretched length of the spring (i.e., without the apple attached)? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
