If I have a simple harmonic oscillator with an amplitude 4.2cm and has a total energy of 0.400J

What would be the max speed of the the mass if the mass hanging on the oscillator is 3kg, and what is it's period of oscillation.

Also, what is the kinetic energy of the entire system when the position of the oscillator is 0.850 cm from the center?

As you know, a common example of a harmonic oscillator is a mass attached to a spring. In this problem, we will consider a horizontally moving block attached to a spring. Note that, since the gravitational potential energy is not changing in this case, it can be excluded from the calculations. For such a system, the potential energy is stored in the spring and is given by U=12kx2, where k is the force constant of the spring and x is...
