the mass of the glider (m) and the effective spring constant (k).With a balance you measure the mass of the glider to be m = 0.253kg. [We ignore the mass of the springs]

d (m) F (N)

0.4293 0.212
0.4677 0.434
0.5062 0.657
0.5445 0.879

1. Use linear least squares to find the slope of this force vs.position data. From this slope, calculate the effective springconstant k:
N/M
2. Calculate the natural frequency fF you should expect for thismechanical oscillator:
Hz
