An ideal spring is lying horizontally on a frictionless surface. One end of the spring is attached to a wall. The other end is attached to a moveable block that has a mass of 5 kg. The block is pulled so that the spring stretches from its equilibrium position by 0.65 m. Then the block is released (from rest), and as a result the system oscillates with a frequency of 0.40 Hz (that's 0.40 rev/sec) Find:

a) The acceleratiuon of the block when the spring is stretched by 0.28 m.
b) the maximum force magnitude exerted by the spring on the block.
c)the oscillation frequency of a 2.5 kg blcok under the same circumstances (i.e. with the same spring and initial displacement).
