Problem

In the velocity–time record of a particle executing simple harmonic motion, the velocity is zero at

t = 0

and again at

t = 0.20\,\text{s}

. Between these instants the particle attains a greatest positive velocity of

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

t = 0.10\,\text{s}

. If the mass of the particle is

200\,\text{g}

, determine the amplitude of oscillation.
