A horizontal spring is compressed by 15 mm when a force of 10 N is applied. A mass of 3 kg is attached to the spring and then released from the compressed position, allowing it to oscillate. Assuming no damping and negligible mass of the spring, calculate: The spring constant and the angular frequency of the oscillation. The maximum velocity and acceleration of the mass. The total mechanical energy of the oscillating system.

Question

A horizontal spring is compressed by 15 mm when a force of 10 N is applied. A mass of 3 kg is attached to the spring and then released from the compressed position, allowing it to oscillate. Assuming no damping and negligible mass of the spring, calculate:

  1. The spring constant and the angular frequency of the oscillation.
  2. The maximum velocity and acceleration of the mass.
  3. The total mechanical energy of the oscillating system.
