A 1.150 kg air-track glider is attached to each end of the track by two coil springs. It takes a horizontal force of 0.500 N to displace the glider to a new equilibrium position, x= 0.190 m.

Find the effective spring constant of the system.
The glider is now released from rest at x= 0.190 m. Find the maximum x-acceleration of the glider. Find the x-coordinate of the glider at time t= 0.450T, where T is the period of the oscillation.
Calculate the angular velocity and the period, then the time at which you must find the position.
Find the kinetic energy of the glider at x=0.00 m.
