We're going to be applying cook's law to this system.
00:03
And here we have the force is equal to the spring constant multiplied by the displacement in the y direction rather or the y position.
00:12
And we can solve for the spring constant k.
00:14
This would be the force divided by the y position from equilibrium.
00:18
This would be equalling to mg, the gravitational force, over y, the y position.
00:26
And we find that the spring constant is equaling the mass of 0 .62 kilograms multiplied by 9 .81 meters per second squared, divided by 0 .12 meters, and this is giving us 50 .7 neutins per meter.
00:48
So now that we have, now that we've tested it with the 0 .62 kilogram mass and we have figured out the spring constant, now we can use, use the period equation, t equaling 2 pi, multiplied by the square root of the mass divided by the spring constant k, and we can then solve for the mass for the new mass, given that we know now the spring constant.
01:13
So the mass would be the spring constant multiplied by the period squared divided by 4 pi squared...
