Question:
As we've seen, astronauts measure their mass by measuring the period of oscillation when sitting in a chair connected to a spring. The Body Mass Measurement Device on Skylab, a 1970s space station, had a spring constant of 606 N/m. The empty chair oscil- lated with a period of 0.901 s. What is the mass of an astronaut who oscillates with a period of 2.09 s when sitting in the chair?
