Maximum Acceleration of an Oscillating System

AI Thread Summary
The problem involves calculating the maximum acceleration of a tuning fork oscillating at 440 Hz with a maximum displacement of 0.1 mm. To find the maximum acceleration, relevant equations for simple harmonic motion need to be applied. The conversion factor for acceleration in terms of g's is established, with 1 g equating to 9.8 m/s². The discussion emphasizes the importance of using appropriate formulas to solve the problem effectively. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately determining the maximum acceleration.
