Question
If an object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced 0.12m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed, then after 0.80s its displacement is found to be 0.12m on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. Find (a) the amplitude, (b) the period and (c) the frequency
