(e) At what value of x does this occur? (f ) What force, applied to the block by the spring, results in the given oscillation?
An object is hung on a vertical spring originally at rest and set to start bobbing up and down by releasing it from rest at the spring’s original rest length (before the object was attached).
(a) What force acts on the object (in terms of its weight) when it is at its lowest point?
(b) Suppose the object weighs 250 g and the spring’s spring constant is 10.0 N/m. Calculate the amplitude of oscillations.
