Energy of vibrational systems

A person exerts a 15-N force on a cart attached to a spring and holds the cart steady. The cart is displaced 0.060 m from its equilibrium position. When the person stops holding the cart, the system cart+spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. (a) Determine the spring constant of the spring. (b) Determine the energy of the system. (c) Write an expression x1t2 for the motion of the cart. (d) Draw as many graphical representations of the motion as you can.
