An object of mass 0.40 kg0.40\,\text{kg} is attached to a horizontal ideal spring of force constant 80 N m−180\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. It oscillates with amplitude 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m} about its equilibrium position. When the object is 0.06 m0.06\,\text{m} away from equilibrium, answer the following. (i) Calculate the total mechanical energy of the system. (ii) Determine the potential energy of the object at this displacement. (iii) Find the kinetic energy of the object at this displacement.
