Homework Statement



How does change acceleration of relativistic linear harmonic oscillator with distance of equilibrium point in laboratory reference system?



Homework Equations







The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]x=x_0sin(\omega t+\varphi)[/tex]

[tex]\upsilon=\omega x_0cos(\omega t+\varphi)[/tex]

[tex]a=-\omega^2 x_0sin(\omega t+\varphi)[/tex]

What now?

Just hint or help I need. Thanks!

Not at all. What's your question?
 


Idea of solving this problem?

Do i need to use Lorentz transformation

[tex]x'=\frac{x-ut}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}[/tex]

where [tex]x'= x'_0sin(\omega t'+\varphi')[/tex]?
