Question
An oscillating spring-mass system has a mechanical energy of 2.5 J. If the position amplitude is 0.02 m, and the acceleration amplitude is 5 m/s2, find (a) the spring constant and the mass of the block. If the position of the mass at t=0 is x=0.02 m, and at t=T/4 is x=0, express the position as a function of time.
