The period T of the oscillations of a mass m suspended from a spring is given by
where k is the spring constant of the spring.
The manufacturer of a spring states that it has a spring constant of 25 N m–1 ± 8%. A mass
of 200 × 10–3 kg ± 4 × 10–3 kg is suspended from the end of the spring and then made to
oscillate.
(i) Calculate the period T of the oscillations.
