You are in a space ship far from any other objects, and you want to build a clock. You decide to buildyour clock out of a spring with a mass attached to it. You use a spring with spring constant =138 Nm,and you initially displace the mass a distance x =25.0cm from equilibrium.a) How much mass will you need so that your clock will measure seconds? [6pt.]b) What is the max velocity of the attached mass? [6pt.]c) Draw a plot of the spring potential energy (Usp) as a function of time for two periods of the clock.The plot must be neat and include numeric values for the max Usp. Make sure you also label thepoints when Usp is a min and a max, Give the numeric values for both the time and Usp
