A 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} block attached to an ideal horizontal spring performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.12 m0.12\,\text{m} and angular frequency 10 rad s−110\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}. (a) Find the magnitude of displacement from the mean position at which the kinetic energy is three times the potential energy. (b) At the displacement obtained in part (i), calculate the percentage of the total mechanical energy that is kinetic.
