Simple harmonic motion of a mass-on-a-vertical-spring is being demonstrated to a physics class. Students are asked to find the spring constant, k. After suspending a mass of 335.0 g from the spring, one student notices the spring is displaced 45.5 cm from its previous equilibrium. With this information, calculate the spring constant. In the final section of the class, a student is asked to investigate the energy distribution of the spring system described above. The student pulls the mass down...
