Question
A block is attached to a spring and rests on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The block is pulled to the right and released from rest when the clock starts counting and t = 0. The block oscillates back and forth about its equilibrium position, and the motion at any time is described by:x(t) = (3.5 cm)cos[(0.8 rad/s)t].What is the value of the t the second time the block goes through the equilibrium position?

Answer:
Explanation:
x(t) = (3.5 cm)cos[(0.8 rad/s)t]
Angular velocity ω = .8
Time period = 2π / ω
= 2 X 3.14 / .8
= 7.85 s
First time block will pass through equilibrium is T/4 ,
Second time block will pass through equilibrium
= 3.T/4
= 3/4 x 7.85
= 5.8875 s
