Sorry the text is so small, just wanted to include the graph - here's the q:

A spring, of negligible mass and which obeys Hooke's Law,supports a mass M on an incline which has negligible friction. Thefigure below shows the system with mass M in its equilibriumposition. The spring is attached to a fixed support at P. Thespring in its relaxed state is also illustrated.

a) Mass M has a value of 285 g. Calculate k, the springconstant.

b)The mass oscillates when given a small displacement fromits equilibrium position along the incline. Calculate the period ofoscillation.

A spring of spring constant k is attaced to a wall at oneendand the other end is attached to a block of mass M. The blockispulled to the right stretching the spring from itsequilibriumposition and is held in place by a taut cord. Theotherend of the cord is attached to the opposite wall. Thetensionin the cord is F T Express all algebraicanswersin terms of M, k, F T and fundamentalconstants.
a) Calculate the distance that the spring has beenstretchedfrom its equilibrium position
