A0.38 kg mass is attached to a spring with a spring constant 106 n/m so that the mass is allowed to move on a horizontal frictionless surface. the mass is released from rest when the spring is compressed 0.109 m. find the maximum force on the mass. answer in units of n.

11.55 N

Explanation:

Given

mass

Spring constant

initial compression

mass will perform simple harmonic motion with general equation of motion given by

where

therefore acceleration is given by

initial compression is equivalent to max amplitude

thus

therefore Maximum Force

see earlier

i don't understand. explain it clearly
