Refer to the diagram shown.
When the student climbs onto the platform, the spring stretches by 0.82 m to reach the equilibrium position.
The mass of the student is m = 90 kg, so his weight is
mg = (90 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 882 N
By definition, the spring constant is
k = (882 N)/(0.82 m) = 1075.6 N/m
When the spring is stretched by x from the equilibrium position, the restoring force is
F = - k*x.
If damping is ignored, the equation of motion is
F = m * acceleration
or
Define ω² = k/m = 11.751 => ω = 3.457.
Then the solution of the ODE is
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt) + c₂ sin(ωt)
x'(t) = -c₁ω sin(ωwt) + c₂ω cos(ωt)
When t=0, x' =0, therefore c₂ = 0
The solution is of the form
x(t) = c₁ cos(ωt)
When t = 0, x = 0.32 m. Therefore c₁ = 0.32
The motion is
x(t) = 0.32 cos(3.457t)
The single amplitude is 0.32 m, and the double amplitude is 0.64 m.
Answer:
0.32 m (single amplitude), or
0.64 m (double amplitude)
