A 2.00kg bucket containing 11.5kg of water is hanging from avertical ideal spring of force constant 140N/m and oscillating upand down with an amplitude of 3.00 cm. Suddenly the bucket springsa leak in the bottom such that water drops out at a steady rate of2.00 g/s.
Part A
When the bucket is half full, find the period ofoscillation.
Part B
When the bucket is half full, find the rate at which the periodis changing with respect to time.
Part C
Is the period getting longer or shorter?
Part D
What is the shortest period this system can have?
