A Fisherman's Scale: Spring Constants and Vibrations
A fisherman's scale stretches 2.8cm when a 3.7kg fish hangs from it.
(a) What is the spring constant?
(b) What will be the amplitude and frequency of vibration if the fish is pulled down 2.5cm more and released so that it vibrates up and down?
*please explain this as simply and clearly as possible, thank you so much :)
