Answer

a) $f=0.384Hz$ b) $v_{max}=0.125m/s$ c) $A=5.20cm$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f=\frac{2.41rad/s}{2\pi}$ $f=0.384Hz$ (b) The maximum speed of the block is given as $v_{max}=\frac{\alpha_{max}}{\omega}$ $v_{max}=\frac{0.302m/s^2}{2.41rad/s}$ $v_{max}=0.125m/s$ (c) The amplitude can be determined as $A=\frac{\alpha_{max}}{\omega}^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $A=\frac{0.302m/s^2}{(2.41rad/s)^2}$ $A=5.20cm$
