A block of mass m is attached to the end of
an ideal spring. Due to the weight of the block, the block remains
at rest when the spring is stretched a
distance h from its equilibrium length. The
spring has an unknown spring constant k.
A.) What is the spring constant k?
B.) Suppose that the block gets bumped and undergoes a
small vertical displacement. Find the resulting angular
frequency ω of the block's oscillation about its
equilibrium position. Express the frequency in terms of given
quantities and g, the magnitude of the acceleration
due to gravity.
