Answer

(a) $T = 0.167~s$ (b) $\omega = 37.7~rad/s$ (c) $m = 84.4~g$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the period of the motion. $T = \frac{1}{f}$ $T = \frac{1}{6.00~Hz}$ $T = 0.167~s$ (b) We can find the angular frequency. $\omega = 2\pi~f$ $\omega = (2\pi)(6.00~Hz)$ $\omega = 37.7~rad/s$ (c) We can find the mass $m$. $\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m}$ $m = \frac{k}{\omega^2}$ $m = \frac{120~N/m}{(37.7~rad/s)^2}$ $m = 0.0844~kg = 84.4~g$
