Problem
A spring–mass system with force constant 150Nm−1 oscillates with amplitude 0.10m. The mass moves from the equilibrium position (x=0) to x=0.08m.
(i) Calculate the magnitude of work done by the spring force during this displacement.
(ii) Determine the change in kinetic energy of the mass between these two positions.
