Homework Statement



Derive the equilibrium state of a simple harmonic oscillation and show that the derivative of the maximum displacement is [itex]s^{'}[/itex] = 2 [itex]\sqrt{E}[/itex]


Homework Equations



F = -k x


The Attempt at a Solution


m a = -k s
[itex]\rightarrow[/itex] m[itex]s^{''}[/itex] = -k s
[itex]\rightarrow[/itex] [itex]s^{''}[/itex] = -ω s
