A mass of is suspended from a fixed point by means of a spring, as illustrated in the figure below.
The stationary mass is pulled vertically downwards through a distance of and then released. The mass is observed to perform simple harmonic motion with a period of
. The mass is released at time
. For the oscillations of the mass,
calculate the angular frequency ,
determine numerical equations for the variation with time of
the displacement in
,
the speed in
.
