The spring pendulum performed 16 oscillations in 4 s. Determine the frequency and period of its oscillations.

The given problems: n (the number of complete oscillations made by the used spring pendulum) = 16 oscillations; t (oscillation duration) = 4 s.

1) Oscillation frequency: ν = n / t = 16/4 = 4 Hz.

2) The period of oscillation of the used spring pendulum: T = t / n = 4/16 = 0.25 s.

Check: ν = 1 / T = 1 / 0.25 = 4 Hz (correct).

Answer: The spring pendulum oscillated with a frequency of 4 Hz and a period of 0.25 s.
