Answer:
mass of the fish is 8.11 kg
Explanation:
As we know that the frequency of oscillation of spring block system is given as
[tex]f = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}[/tex]
here we know that the reading of scale varies from 0 to 155 N from length varies from x = 0 to x = 10 cm
Now we have
[tex]k = \frac{155}{0.10} N/m[/tex]
[tex]k = 1550 N/m[/tex]
so now we have
[tex]2.20 = \frac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\frac{1550}{m}}[/tex]
[tex]m = 8.11 kg[/tex]
so mass of the fish is 8.11 kg
