A block attached to an ideal spring performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude

12\,\text{cm}

and angular frequency

25\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}

. (i) Find the maximum speed of the block. (ii) Determine the magnitude of displacement from equilibrium when the speed of the block is

1.5\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}

while it is moving away from the equilibrium position.
