In a lab, a student measures the unstretched length of a spring as 11.2 cm. When a 100.0-g mass is hung from the spring, its length is 20.7 cm. The mass-spring system is set into oscillatory motion, and the student observes that the amplitude of the oscillation decreases by about a factor of 2 after five complete cycles.
a) Calculate the period of oscillation for this system, assuming no damping.
b) If the student can measure the period to the nearest 0.05 s, will she be able to detect the difference between the period with no damping and the period with damping?
