Question: A mass attached to a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion along the (x)-axis. The limits of its motion are (x=-5 mathrm{~cm}) and (x=45 mathrm{~cm})

A mass attached to a spring oscillates in simple harmonic motion along the \(x\)-axis. The limits of its motion are \(x=-5 \mathrm{~cm}\) and \(x=45 \mathrm{~cm}\) and it goes from one of these extremes to the other in \(0.20 \mathrm{~s}\). Find its 

(a) amplitude; 

(b) frequency;

(c) period?
