A force of 30 N stretches a spring 15 cm.  a) What is the mass attached to such a spring if it oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface with a period of π/4 seconds? b) If the mass is released from rest at t=0 from its amplitude of +5 cm, where will it be and what direction is it moving after π/12 seconds? c) What force does the spring exert on the body when it is +3 cm from its equilibrium position.
