A suspension bridge oscillates with an effective force constant of 2.4 * 1088 n/m. (a) how much energy is needed to make it oscillate with an amplitude of 0.10 m? (b) if s

The amount of energy needed to make the suspension bridge oscillate to an amplitude of 0.10 m is calculated by multiplying the effective force constant by the amplitude. That is,

force = (2.4 x 10^88 N/m) (0.10 m)

force = 2.4 x 10^87 N

Thus, the answer is approximately 2.4 x 10^87 N.
