a physics lab is demonstrating the principles of simple harmonic motion (shm) by using a spring affixed to a horizontal support. the student is asked to find the spring constant, ???? . after suspending a mass of 355.0 g from the spring, the student notices the spring is displaced 41.5 cm from its previous equilibrium. with this information, calculate the spring constant. spring constant: n/m when the spring, with the attached 355.0 g mass, is displaced from its new equilibrium position, it undergoes shm. calculate the period of oscillation, T , neglecting the mass of the spring itself.
