Answer:
[tex]M_2=0.79kg[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Period [tex]T=0.517s[/tex]
Trial 1
Spring constant [tex]\mu=117N/m[/tex]
Period [tex]T_1=0.37[/tex]
Mass [tex]m=0.400kg[/tex]
Trial 2
Period [tex]T_2=0.52[/tex]
Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by
\mu=\frac{4 \pi^2 M}{T^2}
Since
[tex]\mu _1=\mu_2[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]\frac{4 \pi^2 M_1}{T_1^2}=\frac{4 \pi^2 M_2}{T_2^2}[/tex]
[tex]M_2=M_1*(\frac{T_2}{T_1})^2[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.400*(\frac{0.52}{0.37}})^2[/tex]
[tex]M_2=0.79kg[/tex]
