Question
This procedure has been used to “weigh” astronauts in space: A 42.5 kg chair is attached to a spring and allowed to oscillate. When it is empty, the chair takes 1.30 s to make one complete vibration. But with an astronaut sitting in it, with her feet off the floor, the chair now takes 2.54 s for one cycle.
What is the mass of the astronaut?
