Answer:
T = 2.82π s
x = Acos(0.71t)
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by using the expressions
where T is the period of oscillation of the system, m is the mass of the object attached to the spring, k is the spring constant and x is the position of the object.
By replacing in the expression (1):
Taking 6 inches as the amplitude of the motion, we have
I hope this is useful for you
