A block of mass 0.30 kg is placed on a frictionless table and is attached to one end of a horizontal spring of spring constant k, as shown above. The other end of the spring is attached to a fixed wall. The block is set into oscillatory motion by stretching the spring and releasing the block from rest at time t = 0. A motion detector is used to record the position of the block as it oscillates. The resulting graph of velocity v versus time t is shown below. The positive direction for all quantities is to the right.
(s) Calculate the value of k.
