Question: A mass resting on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to one end of a spring; the other end is fixed to a wall. It takes 4.8 J of work to compress the spring by 0.20m. If the spring is compressed, and the mass is released from rest, it experiences a maximum acceleration of 11 m/s2.
a) Find the value of the spring constant?
b) Find the value of the mass?
c) Find the value of the period of its oscillation?
Please explain the equations and steps are used to get the answer. Thanks!
