The force-deflection equation for a class of nonlinear springs fixed at one end is F = 5x1/n, where F is the magnitude, expressed in newtons, of the force applied at the other end of the spring and x is the deflection expressed in meters. Knowing that a block of mass m is suspended from the spring and is given a small downward displacement from its equilibrium position, use computational software to calculate and plot the frequency of vibration of the block for values of m equal to 0.2, 0.6, and 1.0 kg and values of n from 1 to 2. Assume that the slope of the force-deflection curve at the point corresponding to F = mg can be used as an equivalent spring constant.
