Fig. 4.1 shows the variation with time t of the height h above the ground of an object of mass 36 kg that is undergoing vertical simple harmonic motion.

Fig. 4.1

(a)

For the oscillations of the object:

[ 3 ]

(i)

determine the amplitude $x_{0}$ , in cm

x_{0}=

[ 1 ]

$x_{0}=8.0 \mathrm{~cm}$

(ii)

show that the angular frequency $\omega$ is $1.6 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$

[ 2 ]

$\omega=2 \pi / T$ $=2 \pi / 4.0=1.6 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$
