thank you very much that was quite helpful, but I am having some problems with the amplitude calculation... i found the equation K = Ma/A where A is amplitude but that just gives me the original displacement 125 = (.84 x -119)/ A A = .8 any ideas?

Homework Statement An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 125 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's equilibrium location), velocity, and acceleration of the block are x = 0.800 m, v = -11.3 m/s, and a = -119 m/s2 (a) calculate the frequency of...

Homework Statement a uniform beam of length 12.0 m is supported by a horizontal cable and a hinge at angle θ = 70° with the vertical. The tension in the cable is 500 N. Find the gravitational force on the beam in unit vector notation and the force on the beam from the hinge in unit vector...
