A body of mass

0.60\,\text{kg}

is connected to a spring and performs SHM with a period of

2.0\,\text{s}

. At an instant when its displacement from equilibrium is

0.040\,\text{m}

, the kinetic energy of the body is measured to be

0.18\,\text{J}

. (i) Find the amplitude of oscillation. (ii) Calculate the force constant of the spring. (iii) What is the total mechanical energy of the system?
