Answer:
[tex]t = 0.85 s[/tex]
Explanation:
As we know that the block of wood is suspended by spring
Now at equilibrium position we have net force balanced on it
so we have
[tex]mg = kx[/tex]
[tex]0.30 \times 9.81 = k(0.02)[/tex]
so we will have
[tex]k = 147.15 N/m[/tex]
now the time period of the spring block system for one complete oscillation is given as
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}[/tex]
now plug in all values in it
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.30}{147.15}}[/tex]
[tex]T = 0.28 s[/tex]
Now total time to complete 3 cycles is given as
[tex]t = 3T[/tex]
[tex]t = 0.85 s[/tex]
