A student is observing an object of unknown mass oscillating horizontally at the end of an ideal spring. The student measures the period of oscillation with a stopwatch. The student wishes to determine the spring constant using the period measurements. Which of the following pieces of lab equipment would provide another measured quantity that provides sufficient information to complete the determination of the spring constant?

a. Meterstick
b. Motion sensor
c. Balance
d. Photogate

Answer:

Option c. is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

A spring balance helps to measure weight of any object by opposing the force of gravity that acts with the force of an extended spring.

Balance is the following pieces of lab equipment would provide another measured quantity that provides sufficient information to complete the determination of the spring constant.

Option c. is correct.
