Question

A force of 3 N stretches a spring by 1 m.
(a) Find the spring constant k.
(b) Amass of 4 kg is attached to the spring.At t = 0,
the mass is pulled down a distance 1 meter from
equilibrium and released with a downward velocity
of 0.5 meters/second. Assuming that damping
is negligible, determine an expression for the position
of the mass at time t. Find the circular frequency
of the system and the amplitude, phase,
and period of the motion.
