A piston in a car engine has a mass of 0.75kg and moves with motion which is approximately simple harmonic. If the amplitude of this oscillation is 10 cm and the maximum safe operating speed of the engine is 6000 revolutions per minute, calculate: a) maximum acceleration of the piston. b) maximum speed of the piston. c) the maximum force acting on the piston.

period=1/6000 sec A=.1m mass=.75kg max speed=A*2PI*6000 m/s max acceleration=A*(2PI*6000)^2 m/s^2 maxforce=.75*maxaccleration. http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/py105/SHM.html
