Question

A 2.40-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 6.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest from this stretched position, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. (a) Find the force constant of the spring. 30 N/m (b) Find the frequency of the oscillations. .553 Hz (c) Find the maximum speed of the object. .707 m/s (d) Where does this maximum speed occur? x =

Explanation / Answer

a) Force constant = 300 N/m
