A student is designing an experiment to find the spring constant \(k\) of a spring using only a set of known masses and a stopwatch. Which procedure would work?(a) Hang a known mass from the spring and measure its maximum speed using the stopwatch to time its passage through equilibrium. , (b) Hang a known mass from the spring, measure the amount it stretches, and use Hooke’s Law \(F = kx\). , (c) Attach a known mass to the spring on a frictionless surface, pull it back a set distance, and measure the time it takes to stop. , (d) Hang a known mass from the spring, measure the period of oscillation, and use the formula \(T_s = 2\pi \sqrt{m/k}\). :
