equal to 6 kg, is suspended just at a point on its perimeter. The puck is displaced from its equilibrium position.

a) The period of the system.
b) Make a graph of angular position v/s time where the amplitude, initial phase and

A particle undergoes a simple harmonic motion with an amplitude A and a total
energy E. When the displacement is one-fourth the amplitude (x A/4), the

Two blocks, with masses M1 = 2.10 kg and M2 = 9.20 kg, and a spring with spring constant k = 463 N/m are arranged on a horizontal, frictionless surface as shown in the Figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.540. What is the maximum possible amplitude of the simple harmonic motion if no slippage is to occur between the blocks?

- the general solution to a harmonic oscillator are related. There are two common forms for the general solution for the position of a harmonic oscillator as a function of time t: 1. x(t) = A cos (wt + p) and 2. x(t) = C cos (wt) + S sin (wt). Either of these equations is a general solution of a second-order differential equation (F= mā); hence both must have at least two--arbitrary constants--parameters that can be adjusted to fit the solution to the particular motion at hand. (Some texts refer to these arbitrary constants as boundary values.) Part D Find analytic expressions for the arbitrary constants A and in Equation 1 (found in Part A) in terms of the constants C and Sin Equation 2 (found in Part B), which are now considered as given parameters.
