Solution

To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for the period of a mass-spring system, which is T = 2π√(m/k), where T is the period of oscillation, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant.

First, we need to find the period of oscillation. We know that the mass oscillates 14.0 times in 8.60 s, so the period of one oscillation is T = 8.60 s / 14.0 = 0.614 s.

Next, we can rearrange the formula to solve for m: m = k(T/2π)^2.

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get m = 20.0 N/m * (0.614 s / 2π)^2 = 0.191 kg.

So, the mass of the object is 0.191 kg.
