A 0.250 kg mass is hanging motionless attached to a spring of spring constant 12.0 N/m, one end of which is attached to a rigid support. The mass is pulled down 15.0 cm from its equilibrium position and is given an initial velocity of 1.60 m/s directed toward the equilibrium position. (a) Determine the amplitude of the resulting simple harmonic motion. (b) What is the speed of the mass when it passes through the equilibrium position?
