Answer:
Mass will be 4.437 kg
Explanation:
We have given force constant k = 7 N/m
Time period of oscillation T = 5 sec
So angular frequency [tex]\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{5}=1.256rad/sec[/tex]
We know that angular frequency is given by
[tex]\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/tex]
[tex]1.256 =\sqrt{\frac{7}{m}}[/tex]
Squaring both side
[tex]1.577 =\frac{7}{m}[/tex]
m = 4.437 kg
