The masses of astronauts are monitored during long stays in orbit, such as when visiting a space station. The astronaut is strapped into a chair that is attached to the space station by springs and the period of oscillation of the chair in a friction-less track is measured.
(a) The period of oscillation of the 10.0 kg chair when empty is 0.750 s. What is the effective force constant of the springs?
(b) What is the mass of an astronaut who has an oscillation period of 2.00 s when in the chair?
(c) The movement of the space station should be negligible. Find the maximum displacement of the 100,000 kg sace station if the astronaut's motion has an amplitude of 0.100 m.
