Answer

$x_m=0.30m$

Work Step by Step

The amplitude can be determined from the maximum speed using the formula: $v_m=x_m\omega$ This can be rearranged as: $x_m=\frac{v_m}{\omega}$ We know that $\omega=\sqrt\frac{K}{m}=\sqrt\frac{200}{2}=10\frac{rad}{s}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $x_m=\frac{3}{10}=0.30m$
