A block is attached to the top of a spring that stands vertically on a table. The spring stiffness is 49 N/m, its relaxed length is 27 cm, and the mass of the block is 300 g. The block is oscillating up and down as the spring stretches and compresses. At a particular time you observe that the velocity of the block is <0, 0.0877, 0> m/s and the position of the block is <0, 0.0798, 0> m relative to an origin at the base of the spring. Using a time step of 0.1 s, determine the position of the block 0.2 s later. The correct answer is .373651. How was this answer found?
