Consider a simple harmonic oscillator that consists of a 1.2 kg mass connected to a spring with a force constant of 112 N/m. The oscillator is placed horizontally on a table with a static coefficient of friction \ mu S = K = 0.07. 0.13 and a kinetic coefficient of friction of \mu (a) How far can the spring be stretched without moving the mass? (Note: if this is conceptually confusing, consider the idea that one end of the spring could be free for you to push/pull.) m (b) The mass is now made to oscillate at double the amplitude found in part (a). What total distance does the mass travel before stopping? Assume it starts with the maximum amplitude. Assume that at the end of the motion the mass stops at eqilibrium Consider a simple harmonic oscillator that consists of a 1.2 kg mass connected to a spring with a force constant of 112 N/m.
