A simple harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 2.10 kg attached to a spring of spring constant 120 N/m. When t = 0.530 s, the position and velocity of the block are x = 0.160 m and v = 4.030 m/s. (a) What is the amplitude of the oscillations? What were the (b) position and (c) velocity of the block at t = 0 s?
