SUMMARY
An object suspended from a vertical spring oscillates at a frequency of 5.87 Hz. The relationship between the frequency of simple harmonic motion, the spring constant (k), and the mass (m) of the object is defined by the formula f = (1/2π)√(k/m). To determine how much the object stretches the spring when at rest, one must apply Hooke's Law, which states that the force exerted by the spring is proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium position.
