- Problem:
- Assume the amplitude of the oscillation is 8 cm.
-
- (3) Find the maximum acceleration of the mass.
-
- Acceleration can be calculated with the spring constant, the mass, and the displacement:
-
-
-
-
-
- Since k and m are fixed, the maximum acceleration occurs when the displacement is maximum:
-
-
-
-
-
-
- The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is toward the equilibrium point.
