A block with mass m is undergoing SHM on a horizontal, frictionless surface while attached to a light, horizontal spring that has force constant k. You use motion sensor equipment to measure the maximum speed of the block during its oscillations. You repeat the measurement for the same spring and blocks of different masses while keeping the amplitude A at a constant value of 18.0 cm. You plot your data as v2max versus 1/m and find that the data lie close to a straight line that has slope 6.62 N⋅m.

What is the force constant k of the spring?

A block with a mass of 0.250 kg is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface, and then attached to a spring with a spring constant of 5.00 N/m. The system is then set into motion, so that the block experiences simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 18.0 cm. (c) Find the smallest amount of time it takes the block to move from a position of 18.0 cm from equilibrium to a position that is just 7.00 cm from equilibrium.
