The function y = A sin((square root of (k/m) * t ) represents the oscilattion of a mass m at the end of a spring. The constant k measures the stiffness of the spring.
a. Find a time at which the mass is farthest from it's equilibrium
position. Find a time at which the mass is moving fastest. Find
a time at which the mass is accelerating fastest.
b. What os the period, T, of the oscillation?
c. Find dT/dm. What does the sign of dT/dm tell you?
