Suppose T is the period of oscillation of the cart referred to in question 1, and we vary its mass, m, by adding weights to it. T depends on mass, and if we plot T2 vs m/k, where k is the spring constant, we find that the graph is well fit by a straight line. What do you expect the slope of the line to be?
