One end of a stretched ideal spring is attached to an airtrack and the other is attached to a glider with a mass of 0.370 kg . the glider is released and allowed to oscillate in shm. if the distance of the glider from the fixed end of the spring varies between 2.05 m and 1.06 m, and the period of the oscillation is 2.15 s, find the force constant of the spring, the maximum mass of the glider and the magnitude of the maximum acceleration of the glider.

The force constant of the spring, k = 3.15N/m

The maximum velocity Vmax = 1.44m/s

amax = 4.21m/s

Explanation:

The amplitude I half the distance between the points 1.06m and 2.05m. = 0.495

The complete solution can be found below in the attachment.

Thank you very much for e reading and I hope this is helpful to you.

the diagram which shows forces as either balanced = same speed or unbalanced = accelerarting

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.
