    It is given that,

    A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

    In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

    In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

    So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

    So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
