Use this data to calculate the spring constant, $k$ (N/m);
Calculate the natural frequency of the system if:
Mass = 22kg
Mass of pulley = 25kg
Pulley radius = 0.4m;
If the mass is pulled down with a force and then released, then the system will
oscillate; calculate the frequency of this oscillation
Explain the conditions which cause this oscillation, and what causes the
system to eventually lose its energy.
