Question: A block with mass m = 5 . 9 kg is attached to two springs with spring constants kleft = 2 8 N / m

A block with mass m =5.9 kg is attached to two springs with spring constants kleft =28 N/m and kright =56 N/m. The block is pulled a distance x =0.26 m to the left of its equilibrium position and released from rest.
