14.10 In Exercise 14.9, let us take the position of mass when the spring is unstretched as x = 0, and the direction from left to right as the positive direction of x-axis. Give x as a function of time t for the oscillating mass if at the moment we start the stopwatch (t = 0), the mass is

(a) At the mean position

(b) At the maximum stretched position

(c) At the maximum compressed position

In what way do these functions for SHM differ from each other, in frequency, in amplitude or the initial phase?

The functions have the same frequency and amplitude, but different initial phases.

Distance travelled by the mass sideways, A = 2.0 cm

Force constant of the spring, k = 1200 N/m and mass, m = 3 kg

Angular frequency,  ω=km = 12003 = 20 rad/s

(a) When mass is at the mean position, displacement x = Asin ωt=2sin20t cm

 

(b) A
