A metal cylinder with a mass of 2.10 kg is attached to a spring and is able to oscillate horizontally with negligible friction. The cylinder is pulled to a distance of 0.200 m from its equilibrium position, held in place with a force of 27.0 N, and then released from rest. It then oscillates in simple harmonic motion. (The cylinder oscillates along the x-axis, where x is the equilibrium position.) (a) What is the spring constant in N/m)? N/m (b) What is the frequency of the oscillations (in Hz)? (c) What is the maximum speed of the cylinder (in m/s)? m/s (c) At what position(s) (inm) on the x-axis does the maximum speed occur? (e) What is the maximum acceleration of the cylinder? (Enter the magnitude in m/s2) At what position(s) (inm) on the x-axis does the maximum acceleration occur? (9) What is the total mechanical energy of the Oscillating spring-cylinder system (in 3)? (h) What is the speed of the cylinder (in ms) when its position is equal to one-third of the maximum displacement from equilibrium? () What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the cylinder (in m/s) when its position is equal to one-third of the maximum displacement from equilibrium? Need Help? Read
