Problem

A 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} mass performs simple harmonic motion with amplitude 0.10 m0.10\,\text{m} and angular frequency 5 rad s−15\,\text{rad\,s}^{-1}. a. (i) Calculate its potential energy when the displacement from the mean position is 0.06 m0.06\,\text{m}. b. (ii) Express this potential energy as a percentage of the total mechanical energy of the motion.
