A 3.5-kg block is placed between two horizontal springs. Neither spring is strained when the block is located at the position labeled x=0m in the drawing. The block is then displaced a distance of 0.070m from the position where x=0m and released from rest. (a) What is the speed of the block when it passes back through the x=0m position? (b) Determine the angular frequency w of this system. ### Problem Statement:A 3.5-kg block is placed between two horizontal springs. Neither spring is strained when the block is located at the position labeled \(x = 0 \text{ m}\) in the drawing. The block is then displaced a distance of \(0.070 \text{ m}\) from the position where \(x = 0 \text{ m}\) and released from rest. (a) What is the speed of the block when it passes back through the \(x = 0 \text{ m}\) position? (b) Determine the angular frequency \(\omega\) of this system.### Diagram Description:The diagram shows a block placed between two horizontal springs. The spring on the left has a spring constant \(k = 450 \text{ N/m}\) and the spring on the right has a spring constant \(k = 650 \text{ N/m}\). The block is initially at the position \(x = 0 \text{ m}\), which is marked in the center between the two springs. The block is displaced \(0.070 \text{ m}\) to the right from the equilibrium position. The springs are unstrained when the block is at the equilibrium position.### Additional Explanation:- The springs will exert forces proportional to their spring constants when the block is displaced from the equilibrium position.- When released, the potential energy stored in the springs is converted into kinetic energy as the block returns to \(x = 0 \text{ m}\). - The angular frequency \(\omega\) provides information about the oscillation characteristics of the system, such as the rate of oscillation.
