Question: A 70-lb block is attached to a spring and can move without friction in a slot as shown. The block is in its equilibrium position

A 70-lb block is attached to a spring and can move without friction in a slot as shown. The block is in its equilibrium position when it is struck by a hammer which imparts to the block an initial velocity of 10ft/s. Determine

(a) The period and frequency of the resulting motion,

(b) The amplitude of the motion and the maximum acceleration of the block.

70 lb - k = 9 kips/ht

70 lb - k = 9 kips/ht
