A student must determine how the mass of a block affects the period of oscillation when the block is attached to a vertical spring. The value of the spring constant is known. The student writes the following experimental procedure.
1. Use an electronic balance to measure the mass of the
block.
2. Attach the block to the vertical spring.
3. Displace the block from the system’s equilibrium position to a
new vertical position.
4. Release the block from rest.
5. Use a meterstick to measure the vertical displacement of the
center of mass of the block from
the system’s equilibrium position to its maximum vertical position
above the equilibrium position.
6. Use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for the system to
make ten complete oscillations.
7. Repeat the experiment for different vertical displacements and
block masses.
Which of the following steps of the procedure should the student revise to make the determination and why?
Step 5 is wrong, because the meterstick should be used to measure total displacement of the system from its lowest vertical position to highest vertical position.

A block of mass 1.6 ?? is moving across a smooth floor at 13.8
?/? and encounters a second block (initially at rest) of mass 3.4
?? in a fully elastic collision. The second block is attached to a
spring of ? = 1250 ?/?. Assume the spring to be massless and does
not interfere with the collision. After the collision, the second
block is under simple harmonic motion. Determine, a. The amplitude
