Question
If an object on a horizontal, frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it will oscillate. If it is displaced 0.160 m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed, then after 1.550s its displacement is found to be 0.160 m on the opposite side, and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval. (a) Find the amplitude.m
(b) Find the period.
s
(c) Find the frequency.

Explanation / Answer
a) amplitude of oscillation = 0.16 m
b) Period of Pendulum = 1.55 s
c) frequency = 1/T = 1/1.55 = 0.645 Hz
