[SOLVED] More Spring oscillation
A 2.20 kg mass is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal, smooth surface. A horizontal force of 17.6 N is required to hold the mass at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium position (the origin of the x axis). The mass is now released from rest with an initial displacement of xi = 0.200 m, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. Calculate the maximum speed of the mass.
I've calculated the following already:
Spring constant is 88.0 N/m
Oscillation frequency is 1.00 Hz
This is pretty much the problem; i don't know what equation to use to get the max velocity
Ive been messing around with V = -AwSin(wt) but i can't fathom how to get amplitude..
