For a mass hanging from a spring, the maximum displacement the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position is its

The maximum displacement the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position is its AMPLITUDE.

Explanation:

In simple harmonic motion, the restoring force which pulls the oscillating body back towards its rest position is proportional in magnitude to the displacement of the body from the rest position.

The simple harmonic motion in terms of MASS AND SPRING, simple pendulum and loaded test tube is the motion or movement of a particle in a to and fro movement along a straight line under the influence of force.

Mass and spring: This means when a string of suspended mass, M, with initial level of the spring is at rest, the spring will start moving upward and downward due to the imbalance of the suspended mass.

The maximum displacement as the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position is its AMPLITUDE. This is measured in units of meter.

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.
