- A boy of mass 49.8 kg standing on the end of a diving board depresses it vertically downward a distance of 15.7 cm. By pushing down on the board with a force a little greater than his weight, the boy can depress the end of the board a bit farther. The boy and the board then oscillate up and down. Estimate the period of oscillation, assuming that the force the board exerts is approximately like that of a compressed spring, in other words, that it obeys Hooke's law.arrow_forwardThe graph shown in the figure (Figure 1) closely approximates the displacement at of a tuning fork as a function of time t as it is playing a single note.

The students pull the block down and release it from rest. The students then measure the period of the block's oscillation. This procedure is repeated for several trials using the same spring but with blocks of different known masses. The students are instructed to create a linear graph using the mass m of each block and the period T of the block's motion. The slope of the graph will be used to calculate the force constant k of the spring. Which of the following best indicates how the students should create their linear graph and how k can be calculated from the slope of the graph?
