Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
This was a homework question given and the answer is in the back of the book and it says
T = .262 seconds. Now i have no clue how they got this because I thought that the period was related to the spring constant and the mass but not to the amplitude so how can we find T if neither k nor m is given?
