A block holding a ringing tuning fork oscillates back and forth,attached to a wall by a spring of spring on a horizontal,frictionless surface,with amplitude 17 cm.The mass of the tuning fork and block together is 0.75 kg.An observer who is situated so that the block's direction of motion is either directly towards or away from him notes that the frequency he hears varies between 174 and 178 Hz.What is the spring constant for the spring ? The speed of sound at the time of the experiment is 340 m/s.

A 1024 Hz tuning fork is dangled at the end of a string such that its center of mass is 1.2 m below the point at which the other end of the string is attached to door frame,making a pendulum of sorts.The tuning fork may be treated as a point mass for the purposes of this problem.If the pendulum is brought to an amplitude of 22 ∘^{\circ} and released,what is the range of frequencies heard by an observer standing in the plane of the pendulum's motion? The speed of sound in this case is 340 m/s.
