A 150-kg electromagnet is at rest and is holding 100 kg of scrap steel when the current is turned off and the steel is dropped. Knowing that the cable and the supporting crane have a total stiffness equivalent to a spring of constant 200 kN/m, determine (a) the frequency, the amplitude, and the maximum velocity of the resulting motion, (b) the minimum tension which will occur in the cable during the motion, (c) the velocity of the magnet 0.03 s after the current is turned off.
