The apparatus shown above consists of two identical springs of negligible mass, each with spring
constant k = 20.4 N/m and each attached at one end to a vertical rotating pole. Identical small spheres of
mass m are attached to the other ends of the springs. The spheres are constrained to horizontal motion
by horizontal guides of negligible friction, each of which has a ruler below it for measuring the radial
position r of the sphere. The system can be manually rotated about the pole's axis. In a lab experiment,
a student adjusts the rotational speed so that the spheres move to a desired radius r. For each such value
of r, the student measures the rotational period T. The student’'s partially completed data table is shown
below. The length of each unstretched spring is L = 0.15 m.
