We are given the mass , amplitude , and period
of a body undergoing Simple Harmonic Motion. Newton's Second Law
tells us that
so that is maximum when is maximum, that is, when we have .
Thus,
since we have a spring system. We can obtain from by
This yeilds a value for of
and a value of the maximum force of
.
