The amplitude of the wing tip's motion is about 1.6 mm

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Simple Harmonic Motion is a motion where the magnitude of acceleration is directly proportional to the magnitude of the displacement but in the opposite direction.

The pulled and then released spring is one of the examples of Simple Harmonic Motion. We can use the following formula to find the period of this spring.

T = Periode of Spring ( second )
m = Load Mass ( kg )
k = Spring Constant ( N / m )

The pendulum which moves back and forth is also an example of Simple Harmonic Motion. We can use the following formula to find the period of this pendulum.

T = Periode of Pendulum ( second )
L = Length of Pendulum ( kg )
g = Gravitational Acceleration ( m/s² )
Let us now tackle the problem !
