What is the mass of an astronaut

Reference no: EM13694686

Solve the following problem given below:

Problem: As we've seen, astronauts measure their mass by measuring the period of oscillation when sitting in a chair connected to a spring. The Body Mass Measurement Device on Skylab, a 1970 s space station, had a spring constant of 606 N/m. The empty chair oscillated with a period of 0.801s.

Part I: What is the mass of an astronaut who oscillates with a period of 2.15s when sitting in the chair?

I need proficient help in the above problems. Please provide each step of solution. Thanks.
