Question

A mass of 240g oscillate on a horizontal frictionaless surface at a f=3Hz and with a=4.5cm. what is the effective spring constant for this motion?

Solution

k=mg/A would be the correct equation to use if the spring was vertical.
Given, Mass=240g=0.24 kg, f=3Hz A=4.5cm
We know that,
ω=2πf=2π(3Hz)=18.8rad/s
Using w=km
18.8rad/s=(k0.24kg)k=84.8N/m
