The equation is , where
is the displacement in meters and
is the time in seconds.
The equation is in the form of .
Here and
.
(a) The motion is simple harmonic.
\(b) The maximum displacement of the object from its resting position is the amplitude .
.
(c) The time required for one oscillation is the period .
Substitute in
.
The time period is .
(d) The frequency is the reciprocal of the period.
\Thus, .
.
Frequency is .
(a) The motion is simple harmonic.
\(b) .
(c) .
(d) .
