Answer:
5.9 cm
Explanation:
f: frequency of oscillation
frequency of oscillationk: spring constant
frequency of oscillationk: spring constantm: the mass
[tex]f = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{ \frac{k}{m} } [/tex]
in this problem we know,
F= 1.4 Hz
m= 0.26 kg
By re-arranging the formula we get
[tex]k = {(2\pi \: f )}^{2} m = {(2\pi(1.4hz))}^{2} 0.26kg = 20.1 \frac{n}{m} [/tex]
The restoring force of the spring is:
F= kx
where
F= 1.2 N
k= 20.1 N/m
x: the displacement of the block
[tex]x = \frac{f}{k} = \frac{1.2 \: n}{20.1 \frac{n}{m} } = 0.059m \: = 5.9 \: cm[/tex]
