The question as text
A student is investigating the oscillations of a mass attached to an arrangement of springs. Fig. 2.1 shows a mass attached to two springs connected in series. springs mass Fig. 2.1 The student determines the spring constant k for the arrangement of the springs. A stopwatch is used to measure the time t for 20 oscillations. The measurement of t is repeated and the average period T is determined. The experiment is repeated for different arrangements and different numbers of springs. It is suggested that T and k are related by the equation T k M 2 = π where M is the mass. 1
