Problem C16: An object of mass m, which is confined to move on the "x-axis", is subject to a resoring force F. You know that the magnitude of F is proportional to x^n₃, where x is the position on the x-axis. You want to determine the exponent n₃, so you carry out two experiments. You bring the object out to the position x=d and release it from rest, it returns to the origin (x=0) where you measure it's speed to be v₀. Now you bring the object out to the position x=n₁d and release it from rest. You measure it's speed v as it passes though the origin at x=0 and obtain v=n₂v₀. With this information, determine the exponent n₃? Note that n₁, n₂ and n₃ are unitless.
