The object is pulled down, thereby stretching the spring, and then released. The object oscillates up and down, and the time T required for one complete up-and-down oscillation is given by the equation T = 2л√/m/k, where k is known as the spring constant. What must be the dimension of k for this equation to be dimensionally correct? O [T] O [T]² O [M] O [M]/[T] O [T]/[M] O [M]/[T]² O [T]²/[M]arrow_forward
