Question: ( 5 points ) You are given the equation describing the time history of displacement of an undamped, single degree of freedom system as x

(5 points) You are given the equation describing the time history of displacement of an undamped,
single degree of freedom system as x(t)=Asin(nt+). If the absolute value of the amplitude of its
acceleration (only its amplitude) is measured to be 64mms2, and the absolute maximum value of
the amplitude of displacement, A=4mm. Determine the following:
i.(2 points) The expression for the velocity x(t) and acceleration x(t)
ii.(2 points) The natural frequency n
iii. (1 point) The spring constant, k(consider mass m=8kg)
Hint: recall that the acceleration is the second derivative of displacement. Derive the expression
for the acceleration from the displacement and proceed from there.
( 5 points ) You are given the equation
