1.) A block hangs in equilibrium from a vertical spring. When a second identical block is added, the original block sags by 6.00 .
Part A
What is the oscillation frequency of the two-block system?
**In Hz

The spring constant is give by
K = (F2 - F1)/(L2 - L1) = mg/0.06
Hence the frequency of the system is
