A spring-mass system is composed of a mass m = 200 g and a massless spring of force constant k obeying Hooke’s Law, and the whole system is located on a horizontal frictionless table. The mass m makes oscillations about the equilibrium position x = 0 according to the relation x(t) = (15 cm) sin 2πt. (You can take π = 3.)
What is the force constant k of the spring?
(a) 36/5 N/m (b) 36 N/m (c) 54 N/m (d) 72/5 N/m (e) 54/4 N/m
What is the total mechanical energy of the system?
(a) 9/50 J (b) 81/1000 J (c) 8/25 J (d) 81/130 J (e) 2/25 J
