A 6.5 kg mass hung vertically on a spring is oscillating in simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 38 mm. The linear velocity of the mass is 4.3 m/s when it is14 mm from the mid-travel position of its motion. Attempt EACH of the following: a Explain the characteristics of a body oscillating with simple harmonic motion; b Calculate the stiffness of the spring.
