The masses of astronauts are monitored during long stays in orbit, such as when visiting a space station. The astronaut is strapped into a chair that is attached to the space station by springs and the period of oscillation of the chair in a frictionless track is measured.
A= 1086.97 N/m
B= 95.26 kg
C) The movement of the space station should be negligible. Find the maximum displacement to the 100000 kg space station if the astronaut's motion has an amplitude of 0.100 m

The masses of astronauts are monitored during long stays in orbit, such as when visiting a space station. The astronaut is strapped into a chair that is attached to the space station by springs and the period of oscillation of the chair in a frictionless track is measured. (a) The period of oscillation of the 10.5 kg chair when empty is 0.700 s. What is the effective force constant of the springs? 1 N/m (b) What is the mass of...
The masses of astronauts are monitored during long stays in orbit, such as when visiting a space station. The astronaut is strapped into a chair that is attached to the space station by springs and the period of oscillation of the chair in a frictionless track is measured. (a) The period of oscillation of the 13.0 kg chair when empty is 0.710 s. What is the effective force constant (in N/m) of the springs? N/m (b) What is the mass...
#1. ["Massing' Astronauts) Inside the International Space Station orbiting Earth, ordinary scales don't work for measuring weight since the space station is in free fall. However, the masses of astronauts can be determined using an oscillatory device known as an inertia balance that relies on springs rather than gravity for its restoring force. A 22.5 kg chair attached to a spring takes 1.30 s to complete one cycle of oscillation. With an astronaut sitting in the oscillating chair with feet...
Astronauts in orbit measure their own mass by measuring the period of oscillation while sitting in a chair connected to a spring. The International Space Station has an instrument called a Space Linear Acceleration Mass Measurement Device (SLAMMD) which has a spring constant of 606 N/m. The empty chair of the SLAMMD oscillates with a period of 0.901 s. What is the mass of an astronaut who oscillates with a period of 2.29 s when sitting in the SLAMMD?
