t = 2 , sin(t) = 1, v = A(1) = A.
v = 1.0 m/s, to the right.
In the rst 41 T , the block moves from xmax to x = 0. In the second 14 T , it moves from x = 0 to xmax .
In the third 41 T , it moves from xmax to x = 0 .
So at 43 T , the block is at x = 0, and its moving back towards initial position.

Two forces can cancel. Could also write (D d)2 = 5d2
(Not required: d = 0.31D)
G(5M)m GMm
B) ii)P ET OT = (Dd) d , D > d so both terms are negative, so it can NEVER be zero .
