Answer

(a) $3.8Kg$ (b) $37N$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}$ This can be rearranged as: $m=(\frac{T}{2\pi})^2K$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $m=(\frac{0.48}{2\pi})^2(650)$ $m=3.8Kg$ (b) We can find the weight as $W=mg$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $W=(3.8)(9.81)=37N$
