Question: A hedge trimmer has a blade that moves back and forth with a frequency of 28 Hz. The blade motion is converted from the rotation

A hedge trimmer has a blade that moves back and forth with a frequency of 28 Hz.

The blade moves 2.4 cm during each stroke. Assuming that the blade moves with SHM, what are the maximum speed and maximum acceleration of the blade?
