<p>A mass oscillates on a spring with a period T and an amplitude 0.48 cm . The mass is at the equilibrium position x=0 at t=0 , and is moving in the positive direction. <br /><br />Where is the mass at the time t=T/8 ? <br /><br />Where is the mass at the time t=T/4 ? <br /><br />Where is the mass at the time t=T/2 ?<br /><br />Where is the mass at the time t=3T/4 ? <br /><br /></p>
