Question: The midpoint M of a guitar string is pulled a distance d = 1 . 3 mm from equilibrium and released. Point M is observed

The midpoint M of a guitar string is pulled a distance d =1.3 mm from equilibrium and released. Point M is observed to undergo simple harmonic motion with a frequency f =240 Hz.
A.) Calculate the angular frequency of oscillation in radians per second.
B.) Assume the displacement of point M from equilibrium as a function of time t after release is of the form x(t)= xmax cos(t +). What is xmax in meters?
C.) After the string is first released, how many seconds will elapse before it first reaches its equilibrium position?
D.) Calculate the maximum speed of point M during its oscillation vmax in meters per second.
F.) Calculate the magnitude of the maximum acceleration experienced by point M during its oscillation amax in meters per square second.
G.) Select the position(s) at which the acceleration of point M is maximized.
