A mass is hanging from a spring that is moving as v(t) = 4.9sin(4.5t). So the velocity is at 0 m/s on a periodic basis. For example, when t = 0 s, the velocity is 0 m/s. What is the ACCELERATION of the mass when the velocity at the NEXT possible time (after 0 seconds) where the velocity is 0 m/s? Report your answer to the tenth's decimal place.
Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.

As per the question, a mass is hanging with the spring and it is oscillating with velocity v(t)=4.9Sin(4.5t), we have to find the acceleration of the attached block.
We know that,
Where a is the acceleration of the block,
Now, for the finding the acceleration of the block, we have to differentiate v(t) with respect to time.
