When a 20 N can is hung from the bottom of the verticalspring, it causes the spring to stretch 20cm. (a) What is thespring constant (b) This spring is now placed horizentally onfrictionlless table. One end is held fixed, the other end isattached to a 5.0 N can. The canis then moved ( stretching thespring) and released from rest. Wha is the period of the resultingoscillation??

Explanation / Answer
F=-kx 20=-k*0.2 k=100N/m Mass is given by, 5=m*g T=2m/k Plug in the values to get the right solution. Hence we get by it.
