Question
An "ideal" spring with spring constant 0.3 N/m is attached to a block with mass 0.6 kg on one end and a vertical wall on the other. The floor has negligible friction, and you give the block a push and then let go. You observe that the block undergoes simple harmonic motion with a maximum speed of 2 m/s. What is the angular frequency of the oscillations?
