A spring with an unstretched length of 40.0 inches is hung from the ceiling. A 10.0 lb weight is then hung from the bottom of the spring and stretches it downward by 4.00 inches. The weight is then pulled a further 6.00 inches downward and released from rest. Calculate: a) the spring constant of the spring b) the frequency of the resulting oscillations c) the maximum velocity of the weight as it bounces up and down
