In the above question let us consider the position of mass when the spring is relaxed as x = 0, and the left to right direction as the positive direction of the x-axis. Provide x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass, if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is: ( i ) at the mean position, ( ii ) at the maximum stretched position, and ( iii ) at the maximum compressed position.

Question
In the above question let us consider the position of mass when the spring is relaxed as x = 0, and the left to right direction as the positive direction of the x-axis.
Provide x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass, if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is:
( i ) at the mean position,
( ii ) at the maximum stretched position, and
( iii ) at the maximum compressed position.
Expert Solution
Step 1
Given:
Spring constant, k = 1200 N/m
Mass, m = 6 kg
Displacement, A = 4.0 cm = 0.04 cm
ω = 14.14 s-1
( i )Since time is measured from mean position, x = A sin ω t x = 4 sin 14.14t
