Answer

(a) $0.018\frac{rad}{s}$ (b) $250m$

Work Step by Step

(a) The angular frequency is given as $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{5.7min}(\frac{1min}{60s})$ $\omega=0.018\frac{rad}{s}$ (b) The amplitude of the vibration can be calculated as follows: $A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $A=\frac{4.5}{0.018}$ $A=250m$
