Simple Pendulum: As shown in the figure, a 0.23-kg ball is suspended from a string 6.87 m long and is pulled slightly to the left. As the ball swings through the lowest part of its motion it encounters a spring attached to the wall. The spring pushes against the ball and eventually the ball is returned to its original starting position. Find the time for one complete cycle of this motion if the spring constant (force constant) is 19 N/m. (Assume that once the pendulum ball hits the spring there is no effect due to the vertical movement of the ball.)
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).

A diver shines light up to the surface of a flat glass-bottomed boat at an angle of 30° relative to the normal. If the index of refraction of water and glass are 1.33 and 1.5, respectively, at what angle (in degrees) does the light leave the glass (relative to its normal)?
a. 26 b. 35 c. 42 d. 22 e. 48
