B. PROBLEMS:
1. A 2.00kg object is attached to a spring and placed on a horizontal, smooth surface. A horizontal
force of 20.0 N is required to hold the object at rest when it is pulled 0.200 m from its equilibrium
position (the origin of the x axis). The object is now released from rest with an initial position of xi =
0.2m, and it subsequently undergoes simple harmonic oscillations. Find
(a) the force constant of the spring
