A 2.00-kg object is attached to a spring and placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A horizontal force of 20.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest from this stretched position, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. Find (a) the force constant of the spring, (b) the frequency of the oscillations, and (c) the maximum speed of the object. (d) Where does this maximum speed occur? (e) Find the maximum acceleration of the object. (f) Where does the maximum acceleration occur? (g) Find the total energy of the oscillating system. 

In mechanics, an object whose position relative to a rest position is given by a generalized cosine or sine function.

Is called a simple harmonic oscillator. Examples of the simple harmonic oscillator are a mass suspended from a spring and a pendulum swinging through a small angle, in the absence of frictional damping forces. When we take damping forces into account, we obtain a damped harmonic oscillator:

 

A mass on a spring is undergoing simple harmonic motion so that its vertical position at time t seconds is given by 

Cm below the rest position.

The frequency of oscillation is defined as the reciprocal of the period. What is the frequency of the oscillation of spring?
