Help pls someone quick

Amachine, modeled as a simple spring-mass system, oscillates in simple harmonic motion. its acceleration is measured to have an amplitude of 5,000 mm/s with a fre- quency of 10 hz. compute the maximum displacement the machine undergoes during this oscillation.

Arod of some material 0.20 m long elongates 0.20 mm on heating from 21 to 120°c. determine the value of the linear coefficient of thermal expansion [in (degrees c)^-1] for this material.

What is friction? how does it affect the motion of an object?
