Question

You drop a box, mass M, onto a spring as shown and the mass sticks to the spring. If the mass-spring system compresses a distance D, what will be the frequency of oscillation of this system?

Step 1

The spring constant can be calculated using Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position. Mathematically, this can be expressed as F = -kx, where F is the Show more…
