A mass on a string is swung in a circle of radius 0.75m at 7.0m/s.what its rate of acceleration.

I'll be happy to solve the problem using the information that
you gave in the question, but I have to tell you that this wave
is not infrared light.

If it was a wave of infrared, then its speed would be close
to 300,000,000 m/s, not 6 m/s, and its wavelength would be
less than 0.001 meter, not 12 meters.

For the wave you described . . .

   Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

   = (6 m/s) / (12 m)

   = 0.5 / sec

   =    0.5 Hz .

(If it were an infrared wave, then its frequency would be
greater than 300,000,000,000 Hz.)

b) $v_{max}=6.283\frac{m}{s}$

c) $E=0.1974J$

d) $F=80N$

e) $F=40N$

Explanation:

1) Important concepts

Simple harmonic motion is defined as "the motion of a mass on a spring when it is subject to the linear elastic restoring force given by Hooke's Law (F=-Kx). The motion experimented by the particle is sinusoidal in time and demonstrates a single resonant frequency".

2) Part a

The equation that describes the simple armonic motion is given by $X=Acos(\omega t +\phi)$ (1)

And taking the first and second derivate of the equation (1) we obtain the velocity and acceleration function respectively.

For the velocity:

$\frac{dX}{dt}=v(t)=-A\omega sin(\omega t +\phi)$ (2)

For the acceleration

$\frac{d^2 X}{dt}=a(t)=-A\omega^2 cos(\omega t+\phi)$ (3)

As we can see in equation (3) the acceleration would be maximum when the cosine term would be -1 and on this case:

$A\omega^2=8x10^{3}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Since we know the amplitude A=0.002m we can solve for $\omega$ like this:

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{8000\frac{m}{s^2}}{0.002m}}=2000\frac{rad}{s}$

And we with this value we can find the period with the following formula

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2 \pi}{2000\frac{rad}{s}}=0.0031416s$

3) Part b

From equation (2) we see that the maximum velocity occurs when the sine function is euqal to -1 and on this case we have that:

$v_{max}=A\omega =0.002mx2000\frac{rad}{s}=4\frac{m rad}{s}=4\frac{m}{s}$

4) Part c

In order to find the total mechanical energy of the oscillator we can use this formula:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2_{max}=\frac{1}{2}(0.01kg)(6.283\frac{m}{s})^2=0.1974J$

5) Part d

When we want to find the force from the 2nd Law of Newton we know that F=ma.

At the maximum displacement we know that X=A, and in order to that happens $cos(\omega t +\phi)=1$ , and we also know that the maximum acceleration is given by::
