Solution Summary

The solution is comprised of detailed calculations of parameters related to simple harmonic motion, such as angular velocity, spring constant, speed, velocity, displacement.

Solution Preview

(a) The amplitude A of the motion is A = 0.080 m

(b) the period of the motion is T = 4.0 s, then the frequency is f = 1/T = 0.25 Hz
so the angular frequency w= 2*pi*f ...
