Figure 5.1.6 Springs in series

13. A mass weighing 20 pounds stretches a spring 6 inches and another spring 2 inches. The two springs are then attached in parallel to a common rigid support in the manner shown in Figure 5.1.5. Determine the effective spring constant of the double-spring system. Find the equation of motion if the mass is initially released from the equilibrium position with a downward velocity of 2 ft/s.

2. A Ferris wheel has a radius of 40 feet and is boarded in the 6 o'clock position from a platform that is 5 feet above the ground. The wheel completes a counterclockwise revolution every 2 minutes. At t=0 the person is at the 3 o'clock position.

Now measure and record the period for small angle motion with a stopwatch (there is no angle too small, so long as you can see it move). Measure the period in the following way: Move the mass away from equilibrium. Start a stopwatch and simultaneously release the mass. Stop the stopwatch after it swings 5 times back and forth. Record this value. Now acquire 5 more periods this way (each with five swings) so that you have six measures of the period of the same pendulum. Q2: What is the period of the pendulum written as mean +/- error while using a 95% confidence interval? Measurement #1: 3.17 Seconds (Period - T=0.634) Measurement #2: 2.95 Seconds (Period - T=0.590) Measurement #3: 3.25 Seconds (Period - T=0.650) Measurement #4: 3.16 Seconds (Period - T=0.632) Measurement #5: 3.17 Seconds (Period - T=0.634) Measurement #6: 3.22 Seconds (Period - T=0.644) Mean = 3.784/6=0.630 I do not understand how to produce the error +/- while using the 95% confidence interval.
