The maximum acceleration of the mass oscillating on the spring whose spring constant is 3400 N/m, is determined as 204 m/s².
Applied force on the spring
The force applied on the spring to cause the mass to displace to the given distance is determined by applying Hooke's law;
F = kx
F = (3400 N/m) x (0.072 m)
F = 244.8 N
Maximum acceleration
The maximum acceleration of the mass is determined from Newton's second law of motion as shown below;
F = ma
a = F/m
a = 244.8 / 1.2
a = 204 m/s²
