Question
A 2.13-kg object on a frictionless horizontal track is attached to the end of a horizontal spring whose force constant is 5.00 N/m. The object is displaced 3.54 m to the right from its equilibrium position and then released, initiating simple harmonic motion. (a) What is the force (magnitude and direction) acting on the object 3.50 s after it is released

Answer:
17.54N in -x direction.
Explanation:
Amplitude (A) = 3.54m
Force constant (k) = 5N/m
Mass (m) = 2.13kg
Angular frequency ω = √(k/m)
ω = √(5/2.13)
ω = 1.53 rad/s
The force acting on the object F(t) = ?
F(t) = -mAω²cos(ωt)
F(t) = -2.13 * 3.54 * (1.53)² * cos (1.53 * 3.50)
F(t) = -17.65 * cos (5.355)
F(t) = -17.57N
The force is 17.57 in -x direction
