Problem

A mass of 200 g hangs on a light string of length 80 cm. If the mass is displaced horizontally by a distance of 20 cm and then released, calculate (a) the frequency of the resulting oscillations. (You may take g=10 Nkg−1g = 10 \text{ Nkg}^{-1} .) (b) the number of oscillations that there will be in 1 minute. (c) the maximum speed of the mass. (d) the total energy of the mass during its oscillations.
