A body undergoes simple harmonic motion of amplitude 4.25cm and period 0.200s. The magnitude of the maximum force acting on it is 10.0N. (a) What is the mass? (b) If the oscillations are produced by a spring, what is the spring constant?

Explanation

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts: (a) finding the mass of the body and (b) calculating the spring constant.

### Given Data:
- Amplitude (A) = 4.25 cm = 4.25 × 10^-2 m
- Period (T) = 0.200 s
- Maximum Force (F_max) = 10.0 N

### Part (a): Finding the Mass
