Question
A frictionless spring with a 3-kg mass can be held stretched 0.8 meters beyond its natural length by a force of 40 newtons. If the spring begins at its equilibrium position, but a push gives it an initial velocity of 1 m/sec, find the position of the mass after tt seconds.

Answer:
Explanation:
mass m = 3 kg
spring constant be k
k x .8 = 40 N
k = 40 / .8 = 50 N /m
angular frequency ω = √ ( k / m )
= √ ( 50 / 3 )
= 4.08 rad /s
Let amplitude of oscillation be A .
1/2 k A² = 1/2 m v²
50 A² = 3 x 1²
A = .245 m = 24.5 cm
For displacement , the equation of SHM is
x = A sinωt
= 24.5 sin4.08 t
x = 24.5 sin4.08 t
Here, angle 4.08 t is in radians .
