Spring constant, $k=1200\, N m ^{-1}$
Mass, $m=3\, kg$
Displacement, $A=2.0 \,cm =0.02\, cm$
Frequency of oscillation $v$, is given by the relation:
$v=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
Where, $T$ is the time period
$\therefore v=\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14} \sqrt{\frac{1200}{3}}=3.18\, m / s$
Hence, the frequency of oscillations is $3.18 \,m / s$
Maximum acceleration $(a)$ is given by the relation:
$a=\omega^{2} \,A$
$\omega=$ Angular frequency $=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$
$A=$ Maximum displacement
$\therefore a=\frac{k}{m} A=\frac{1200 \times 0.02}{3}=8\, ms ^{-2}$
Hence, the maximum acceleration of the mass is $8.0 \,m / s ^{2}$
Maximum velocity, $v_{\max }=A \omega$
$=A \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=0.02 \times \sqrt{\frac{1200}{3}}=0.4\, m / s$
Hence, the maximum velocity of the mass is $0.4\, m / s$
