From this paper
The maximum velocity attained by the mass of a simple harmonic oscillator is 10 cm/s, and the period of oscillation is 2 s. If the mass is released with an initial displacement of 2 cm, find (a) the amplitude, (b) the initial velocity, (c) the maximum acceleration, and (d) the phase angle.

An automobile having a mass of 2,000 kg deflects its suspension springs 0.02 m under static conditions. Determine the natural frequency of the automobile in the vertical direction by assuming damping to be negligible.
