(a) To determine the spring stiffness constant k, we can use Hooke's Law, which states that
the force exerted by a spring is directly proportional to the displacement from its equilibrium
position.

The formula for Hooke's Law is F = -kx, where F is the force exerted by the spring, k is the
spring stiffness constant, and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

From the given information, when the 0.300 kg mass is gently suspended, the spring stretches
0.150 m. So we can write:

F = -kx
mg = kx
(0.300 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) = k(0.150 m)

Solving for k, we have:

k = (0.300 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) / (0.150 m)

k = 19.6 N/m

Therefore, the spring stiffness constant k is 19.6 N/m.

(b) The amplitude of the horizontal oscillation A can be determined by considering the
conservation of mechanical energy in simple harmonic motion. The total mechanical energy
of the system is the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.

At the equilibrium position, the potential energy is zero and the kinetic energy is maximum.
The maximum potential energy occurs at the extreme displacements, where the spring is
stretched or compressed the most. At these positions, the kinetic energy is zero.

Since the spring is stretched 0.100 m from the equilibrium point, the amplitude of the
horizontal oscillation A is equal to the maximum displacement, which is 0.100 m.

Therefore, the amplitude of the horizontal oscillation A is 0.100 m.

(c) The magnitude of the maximum velocity Umax can be determined using the equation:

Umax = ωA

where ω is the angular velocity, given by:

ω = √(k/m)
Substituting the values k = 19.6 N/m and m = 0.300 kg, we have:

ω = √(19.6 N/m / 0.300 kg)

ω ≈ 7.810 rad/s

Substituting ω = 7.810 rad/s and A = 0.100 m into the equation Umax = ωA, we get:

Umax ≈ (7.810 rad/s)(0.100 m)

Umax ≈ 0.781 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the maximum velocity Umax is 0.781 m/s.

(d) The magnitude of the velocity v when the mass is 0.050 m from equilibrium can be
determined using the equation:

v = ω√(A^2 - x^2)

where x is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

Given that x = 0.050 m, A = 0.100 m, and ω = 7.810 rad/s from previous calculations, we can
calculate v as follows:

v = (7.810 rad/s)√(0.100 m)^2 - (0.050 m)^2)

v ≈ (7.810 rad/s)√(0.01 m^2 - 0.0025 m^2)
v ≈ (7.810 rad/s)√(0.0075 m^2)
v ≈ (7.810 rad/s)(0.0866 m)
v ≈ 0.677 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity v when the mass is 0.050 m from equilibrium is
0.677 m/s.

(e) The magnitude of the maximum acceleration amax of the mass occurs at the extreme
displacements, where the acceleration is greatest. At these positions, the velocity is zero.

Therefore, the maximum acceleration amax can be calculated using the equation:

amax = ω^2A

Substituting ω = 7.810 rad/s and A = 0.100 m, we get:

amax ≈ (7.810 rad/s)^2 (0.100 m)

amax ≈ 6.09 m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the maximum acceleration amax of the mass is 6.09 m/s^2.
