A horizontal mass-spring system has low friction, spring stiffness 250 N/m, and mass 0.370 kg. The system is released with an initial compression of the spring of 10.8 cm and an initial speed of the mass of 3.10 m/s.What is the maximum stretch during the motion?
What is the maximum speed during the motion?
Now suppose that there is energy dissipation of 0.030 J per cycle of the spring-mass system. What is the average power input required to maintain a steady oscillation?
