Answer:
The distance by which the spring stretches is 1.48 cm.
Explanation:
Given that,
An object on a vertical spring oscillates up and down in simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency of 25.7 rad/s,
We know that angular frequency in SHM is given by :
When the object is allowed to hang stationary from it, the force due to spring is balanced by its weight. Such that :
From equation (1) :
So, the distance by which the spring stretches is 1.48 cm.
