Answer:

(a) 7.1 m /sec

(b) 339.9 N/m

(c) 19.91 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given mass m = 267 gram = 0.267 kg

Time period T = 0.176 sec

Total energy of the oscillating system = 6.74 J

We know that energy is given by

(a)
Ke=(1)/(2)mv_(max)^2


6.74=(1)/(2)* 0.267* v_(max)^2


v_(max)=7.1m/sec

(b) Now
\omega =(2\pi )/(T)=(2* 3.14)/(0.176)=35.681rad/sec

We know that
\omega =\sqrt{(k)/(m)}


35.68=\sqrt{(k)/(0.267)}


k=339.9N/m

(c) We know that energy is given by


E=(1)/(2)KA^2


6.74=(1)/(2)* 339.9* A^2


A=19.91cm
