A block is attached to a spring, with spring constant k, which is attached to a wall. it is initially moved to the left a distance d (at point a and then released from rest, where the block undergoes harmonic motion. the floor is frictionless.

x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

w = √(k/m)

Explanation:

Given:-

- The mass of block = m

- The spring constant = k

- The initial displacement = xi = d

Find:-

- The expression for displacement (x) as function of time (t).

Solution:-

- Consider the block as system which is initially displaced with amount (x = d) to left and then released from rest over a frictionless surface and undergoes SHM. There is only one force acting on the block i.e restoring force of the spring F = -kx in opposite direction to the motion.

- We apply the Newton's equation of motion in horizontal direction.

                             F = ma

                             -kx = ma

                             -kx = mx''

                              mx'' + kx = 0

- Solve the Auxiliary equation for the ODE above:

                              ms^2 + k = 0

                              s^2 + (k/m) = 0

                              s = +/- √(k/m) i = +/- w i

- The complementary solution for complex roots is:

                              x(t) = [ A*cos ( wt ) + B*sin ( wt ) ]

- The given initial conditions are:

                              x(0) = d

                              d = [ A*cos ( 0 ) + B*sin ( 0 ) ]

                              d = A

                              x'(0) = 0

                              x'(t) = -Aw*sin (wt) + Bw*cos(wt)

                              0 = -Aw*sin (0) + Bw*cos(0)

                              B = 0

- The required displacement-time relationship for SHM:

                               x(t) = d*cos ( wt )

                               w = √(k/m)

all of the answers are correct.
