Question

A 30.5 kg mass is hung on a spring (k = 7.32 N/m). The system is displaced 75.0 cm from
equilibrium by the mass and then released. What is the total energy of the mass-spring system? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data: 

Spring constant (k) = 7.32 N/m

Amplitude (A) = 75.0 cm = 0.750 m

Required:
