Question:
Figure P14.59 shows two springs, each with spring constant \(20 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\), connecting a \(2.5 \mathrm{~kg}\) block to two walls. The block slides on a frictionless surface. The block is displaced \(1.0 \mathrm{~cm}\) from equilibrium.
a. What is the magnitude of the restoring force?
b. Given this, what is the effective spring constant of the two springs working together?
c. If the mass is released, it will oscillate. What is the frequency?
