In questions 1, find the function that shows the time dependent change of the position of the given undamped spring-mass system. Determine the period and amplitude of the motion. Determine how many seconds after t = 0 the system first passes the maximum position (in the positive or negative direction) and the equilibrium position. (You will find the spring constant k yourself. Please make sure that the units you use are compatible with each other. For simplicity, you can use seconds as time units, kilograms as mass units, meters as displacement units. For gravitational acceleration, you can use g = 10 m/s².

A massless spring, when a mass of 50 grams is attached to its end, moves 10 centimeters down from its equilibrium position and stays in balance in this position. This spring-mass system is pulled down 0.2 meters from this new equilibrium position and released at the first speed.
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.
