Answer

The amplitude is $~~0.15~cm$

Work Step by Step

In part (b) we found that the block reaches a point $0.10~m$ above the unstretched point, and the block reaches a point $0.20~m$ below the unstretched point. The distance between the highest point and the lowest point is $0.30~m$ The amplitude is half of this distance. Therefore, the amplitude is $~~0.15~cm$
