Answer

$7.68cm$

Work Step by Step

We can find the require distance as follows: $T=\frac{56.7s}{102 \space oscillaitons}=0.556s$ We know that $d=\frac{mg}{K}=(\frac{m}{K})g$.....eq(1) We also know that $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ This simplifies to: $\frac{m}{K}=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2$ Now from eq(1) $d=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2g$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $d=(\frac{0.556}{2\pi})^2(9.81)$ $d=0.0768m=7.68cm$
